http://blogs.msdn.com/b/healthblog/archive/2009/09/14/learn-more-about-clinical-groupware.aspxOn my HealthBlog post of June 24th I posed the question, “Is it time for Clinical Groupware?”&#160; Well, apparently the answer is YES!&#160; Since June, a number of my colleagues have come together to form what is now known as the Clinical Groupwareen-USTelligent Evolution Platform Developer Build (Build: 5.6.50428.7875)http://blogs.msdn.com/b/healthblog/archive/2009/09/14/learn-more-about-clinical-groupware.aspx#9895389Tue, 15 Sep 2009 16:53:54 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:9895389John Weiler<p>Having been involved with the Federal and Commercial Health IT market since 98 while at the Interop. Clearinghouse institute, I can attest to the significance of Steve Adams efforts to use collaboration as a way of engaging buyers of Health IT Solutions. &nbsp;Sounds like they are taking a page out of Google's playbook, and appears to be working. </p> <p>As a solution architecture advisory to the federal government, I see where this capability can be leveraged in transforming the multi-billion dollar CHCS, ALTA and VISTA systems towards a plug and play architecture, and advance Obama's transformational agenda. &nbsp; </p> <p>The challenge in the federal Health IT market is that users, IT shops and acquisition offices do not communicate well. &nbsp;Requirements are processed into an arcane acquisition process that almost never delivers on time or on budget. &nbsp; </p> <p>We at the ICH welcome this initiative and invite you to engage our federal Health IT community. &nbsp;703 768 0400.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9895389" width="1" height="1">
