Today, the consequences of health exec IT having not its own web information, providing news and analysis of trust of media specifically on topics related to the significant use of e-health records, could lead to a strategic error, resulting ultimately in your dismissal.
You say: "You are being too dramatic,". I do not.
Last SnapSurvey of the HealthsystemCIO .com - sent to more than 120 DPI who sit on the Advisory Expert Group survey - reveals that information does change of strategy. Survey shows that almost half of the CIO who had planned to attest to comply with the stage 1 meaningful use requirements in fiscal year 2011 are now planning certify by FY12 instead, due to a glitch which would leave with little time to prepare for compliance of step 2.
"This is great, you say," so we will all expect certify by FY12. ". Hold on, we're not finished yet.
Last week, the health policy Committee meaningful use workgroup he began to explore options that would eliminate the timing glitch, giving people who are ready to FY11 few reasons to wait. The meeting has just opened the discussion. We have no indication of what changes (if applicable) the Working Group recommends to the full Committee policy HIT, that this Committee will decide finally, and how the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) will view the decision.
"What is a CIO do?" you ask.
You only have one option: build the above information on the web. When that check should link you to healthsystemCIO.com and another to the InformationWeek healthcare, web strong must have many sources of information. It is impossible for a media to cover you in all the senses on all issues, string if your web site to cover all the bases, string of wisely and selectively. Use of social media, RSS, e-newsletters, white papers and webinars, but beware information overload - too much is almost as bad as too little.
Many think that the Government made a remarkable job make significant usage requirements, given the size and scope of the effort, but there is no doubt, the associated ambiguity makes it almost impossible for you to develop a strategic plan of three or five years. Whereas these plans must always be written in pencil, the nature of the week by week of significant use twists and transforms how you wore down your gum long ago. Perhaps it is time for the Whiteboard.
Although the success working group seems if interest by eliminating disincentives FY11 meaningful use account, this does not mean there is much reason to return to the earlier date if you already have pencil in FY12. In practice, this means that Office of CMS's National Coordinator for health it (ONC) don't need to worry about low number of attestation of FY11, because industry will not know if these figures were caused by the glitch (even if it is deleted in the end) or because the program is on top.
If the industry is likely to be in limbo for another year before he can really see if this program was developed wisely. Ultimately, judging if significant use and other technologies Information economic health and clinical health (HiTech) Act programs are a success or failure, it will take significant recoil. Today, however, there is to do. The nature of this work is constantly changing, the key to your success is to know when these changes are. It is time to turn your web site.
