About Me

I have a new job! I am now working for MicroHealth as the Chief Governance & Compliance Officer. I start in December, 2011. I am a dentist and have been in the Air Force for the past 26 years and now am retiring out of a great job...the Chief Medical Information Office at the DHIMS program office where we build and maintain the military electronic health record. I am also back in school at the GWU Masters program in Information Systems Technology...great experience. In my spare time, I love to get creative and work with polymer clay and paint.

DoD/VA Health Information Exchange Summit

I attended a fantastic DoD & VA Electronic Health Record and Health Information Exchange summit conference today in DC where several speakers talked about "disruptive" technologies and how mobile devices are the latest development in the electronic health record arena.   A few extolled the value of social tools and crowd sourcing, but others could not grasp it.  I hate to think that our user base missing out on so much if they only had a virtual meeting place.  The VA is doing exciting things in the area of open source and soliciting innovations from creative VA employees and industry.  It's good stuff.
