ONC Cartoon with Homage to Farzad

Today, someone who calls themselves HIT Sprite sent me a cartoon that looks at ONC dealing with the recently announced departure of Farzad Mostashari. You might not get the cartoon if you don’t know Farzad and ONC well, but for those who live, eat, breathe and sleep health IT, I think you’ll enjoy it.

While not completely accurate, Farzad’s quirks have grown almost as large as his efforts to change healthcare. Will Farzad be better remembered for his bowtie or his work to move healthcare IT forward?

  • Hi John

    He will be remembered for all the good things he did; I remember working with ONC team on the Interoperability Framework and the POC that we did at HIMSS 2012. Got to see and know him better.

    Very pragmatic and down to earth; has made good strides in accelerating adoption of Health IT.

    His sense of humor was great as well. Straight shooter. He will certainly be missed.
