   Sorry to hear it, John, hope you get well soon. To add to your list, the ONC is going to host a public call about meaningful use on Thursday. Here’s the info from the email:

   The Meaningful Use Workgroup will hold two final hearings on the meaningful use criteria (Population Health and Care Coordination). All are invited to attend or listen in.

   On Thursday, July 29th, the MU WG will hold a hearing on Population Health, 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m./Eastern. The meeting will be held at the OMNI Shoreham Hotel, 2500 Calvert Street, NW, Washington, DC. (Dial in information below).

   Presenters included persons from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, state and local public health officials, and experts in information infrastructure in public health. The focus of their testimony revolves around two primary questions:

   * What population health effects should public health agencies expect as the nation moves toward meaningful use (MU) of certified EHRs?
   * How can governmental public health agencies leverage these MU efforts and investments and the goals of a learning health system to improve population health?
