FYI re Health IT - Progress not Perfection...

The Certification Commission for Health Information Technology  
(CCHIT), Chicago, Ill. and the Drummond Group Inc. (DGI), Austin,  
Texas, were named today by the Office of the National Coordinator for  
Health Information Technology (ONC) as the first technology review  
bodies that have been authorized to test and certify electronic health  
record (EHR) systems for compliance with the standards and  
certification criteria that were issued by the U.S. Department of  
Health and Human Services earlier this year.

Personally, I am still disappointed that little to no representation  
by anybody in usability engineering is being included on these bodies  
(their idea re usability and HCI is not the same as that of the  
probable recipient of this message) however... it's about progress not  
perfection.
