Topic One: The ONC wants public comment on its #healthIT patient safety action plan. What oversight is needed to improve patient safety?
T1: I think #healthIT safety features in software should be standard, not pricey upgrades or optional to install. Safety always #HITsm

T1: Need remedy for alarm fatigue so users actually heed warnings they see. #patientsafety #HITsm — Brian Eastwood (@Brian_Eastwood) January 11, 2013
#HITsm T1: 1st step is better access to patient data – mandated connectivity will mean more background & safer patients @healthstandards — Certify Data Systems (@CertifyData) January 11, 2013
T1: We’d like to see improved requirements for communication standards in the hospital.#HITsm — Vocera, Inc. (@VoceraCom) January 11, 2013
Topic Two: Why don’t we share our clinical info/data? Are you your own #HIE?
T2. 1. Fear of HIPPA breach. 2. Lack of knowledge/training. 3. Lack of interoperability. 4. $ #HITsm — Elin Silveous (@ElinSilveous) January 11, 2013
T2: The question is bigger than are we are own #HIE. Are we our own #HIX etc. Architecture of Internet & #data don’t support. #HITsm — CLOUDHealth (@CLOUDHealth) January 11, 2013
T2: Keep in mind that the question is Why aren’t YOU acting as your own HIE. We can get our medical record and take it with us. #HITsm — Chad Johnson (@OchoTex) January 11, 2013
#HITsm T2: A lack of true interoperability prevent sharing. Until we address, patients must transmit data themselves. @healthstandards — Certify Data Systems (@CertifyData) January 11, 2013
Topic Three: What is your definition of healthcare interoperability? How will you know when it becomes reality?
T3: 2) Being able to carry my entire phr on a zip drive to whatever provider I wish to see #HITsm — Nanette Nuessle, MD (@DrNanN) January 11, 2013
Interoperability will be impossible until monolyth EHR vendors build systems that can communicate across vendors bit.ly/ZHZdTd #HITsm — M*Modal(@MModal) January 11, 2013
T3: I use the IEEE definition just like Fridsma does.Why redefine it.The real question is how we will know it when we’re there. #HITsm — Keith W. Boone (@motorcycle_guy) January 11, 2013
T3. Definition of interoperability?: impossible today.#HITsm — Elin Silveous (@ElinSilveous) January 11, 2013
Topic Four: Resolution check: If you are working at making changes to start 2013, what technology is helping the most?
T4: #Mobilehealth is the go-to for those of us working to stay on top of our new year’s resolutions. Best way to monitor change! #HITsm — Vocera, Inc. (@VoceraCom) January 11, 2013
T4: Which device helps the most?None of the above.Habits will help the most. #HITsm
— Keith W. Boone (@motorcycle_guy) January 11, 2013
T4: I’m finding new ways to use Evernote to be more productive and organized. However, these new ways distract me from producing! #HITsm
— Chad Johnson (@OchoTex) January 11, 2013
T4: Using DailyMile (instead of paper notebook) to track marathon training / ensure I actually do it right this time. #HITsm — Brian Eastwood (@Brian_Eastwood) January 11, 2013
Topic Five: Free for all: What #healthIT issue captured your interest this week?
T5: The other cool thing was the announcement of 100+ new ACOs this week. Looking for link… #HITsm
— Chad Johnson (@OchoTex) January 11, 2013
T5: Preoccupied with new feature roll-out here @tigertextapp this week, but last weeks chat re: gym apps, trying to ramp up workouts #HITsm
— TigerText (@TigerTextApp) January 11, 2013
T5: Recent statistics about physicians use of tablets for #mobilehealth. 74% say it improves workflow: bit.ly/VS8YeG #HITsm
— Vocera, Inc. (@VoceraCom) January 11, 2013
#HITsm 5: The seeming dearth of #EHR systems that providers are truly satisfied with, as well as an ability to communicate with patients.
