• Response: A Universal Identifier Isn’t a Silver Bullet | Mastering Data Management on 3 Best Practices in Identity Management

At HIMSS10 last week in Atlanta, Initiate's Lorraine Fernandes sat down with Better Health to discuss a wide range of issues, including EMRs, meaningful use, linking patient data and more. She also recaps the NHIN work groups and how patient and provider registries can coexist in a connected, real-time world. Additionally, she discusses the mechanics of connecting small physician practices to other healthcare facilities in their regions to enable physician outreach and better care.

Lorraine mentions two customer case studies:

1. Sutter Health's success building interoperability, linking clinical records, and implementing a provider registry. Read more about Sutter Health.
2. How UMass Memorial Health Care is creating a connected healthcare community. View a video of UMass leaders telling their story.

In part 2 of the interview, Lorraine discusses patient consent, privacy policies and takes live Q&A from viewers on the IBM acquisition, sharing radiology images and more.
