Since the stimulus bill was signed into law in February of this year, in effect mandating incentives and penalties for health care providers tied to the meaningful use of electronic health records (EHRs), there has been an explosion of rhetoric around EHRs. Though EHRs are certainly a topic of concern for all providers, it appears two other important initiatives have been overshadowed by the debate.

Last Thursday, I attended a conference in Washington, D.C. that focused on health reform in long term care. As I listened to the impassioned speakers, each with broad ranging ideas for health reform, they all seemed to have one goal in common: to ensure long term care is given the attention it deserves and is not pushed aside amid the larger debate about health reform.

AI has relaunched the website of CRISP, the collaborative health information exchange planning group comprised of Erickson Retirement Communities, Johns Hopkins Medicine, MedStar Health, and the University of Maryland Medical System. As HIE activities move forward in Maryland, the website will serve as an informational resource for consumers and healthcare institutions alike. The site was developed using the DotNetNuke open source content management framework. Over the last several weeks, with the increased prominence of health IT generally and CRISP specifically -- for instance, CRISP leaders David Horrocks and Mark Kelemen were recently interviewed on Baltimore's WYPR public radio -- traffic to the CRISP website has risen dramatically.

According to Charlene Yi, in Groundswell, recommended to me and AI by a friend, Wally Boston, the need for more and new ’Web 2.0’ platforms built to serve the older American demographic is questionable.
