Fred Trotter writes: I have recently been asked to testify at the NCVHS hearings on meaningful use (see forwarded message below). This is very likely because I have been working as a representative of the FOSS community with CCHIT to resolve the basic incompatibility with current CCHIT certification and FOSS EHR systems. For a decent summary you can read the CCHIT category on my blog or read some of the mainstream blogs: slashdot and ZDnet Now I will be asked to testify on what 'Meaningful Use' of EHR systems means from a FOSS perspective. I am having discussions on what I should cover on both Hardhats (VistA community) and OpenHealth (larger FOSS community). Feel free to email me off-line (fred dot trotter at gmail dot com) or simply reply to this thread, with your thoughts.

Now I will be asked to testify on what 'Meaningful Use' of EHR systems means from a FOSS perspective. I am having discussions on what I should cover on both Hardhats (VistA community) and OpenHealth (larger FOSS community). But I would also like to get some input from my SHIS colleagues. Feel free to email me off-line (fred.trotter@gmail.com) or simply reply to this thread, with your thoughts.

Oh... and remember that we are hosting a FOSS conference here this summer: http://fosshealth.eventbrite.com/ use the invitation code 'shis' for cheaper tickets.
