(This is the first in a series of posts on data strategy. Next post here.) I’ve been reviewing and providing feedback on a number of data strategies lately, each presented as a future state ‘conceptual’ architecture which is mixed-level-of-abstraction Dagwood technology sandwich with an implied left-to-right flow. You know the kind of diagram I mean: … Continue reading Throw Off Those 1960’s Data Strategy Shackles

Informational Identities and Personal Privacy: Persistence and Use
This post is one in an ongoing series (starting here) in which I am developing the concept of 'Informational Identity'. Your name, your legal identities, your digital identities, are all the same kind of thing: information tools created to pick you out of a crowd, to refer to you when you are not present, to … Continue reading Informational Identities and Personal Privacy: Persistence and Use

Interoperability is Not About Moving Data Around
The national dialog about Interoperability is currently based on a shared conceptualization of interoperability as 'moving data around'. This is common across the standard definitions of interoperability from ONC, HIMSS, CMS and other authoritative sources. The original Blue Button was - is - about moving your entire health record from their computer to your computer. … Continue reading Interoperability is Not About Moving Data Around
Join a Trusted Payer Exchange Network Framework. What?
