It's not new information to anyone reading this that small and even moderate-sized medical oncology practices are highly endangered species. So it will be very tough for the smaller non-diversified practices to have the adequate capital at their dis…

CMS issues draft definition for "meaningful use" for EHR's
Many of you have been following this, but, today, one day shy of the 12/31/09 deadline, CMS issued its long-awaited proposed rule governing the incentive program for EHR's under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), most importantly putting forth the definition of "meaningful use" for EHR's - what the EHR and user must be able to "do" to qualify for the Federal incentive dollars. In addition, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) issu… Continue

Robert M. Schumacher, Ph.D. said… - Dr. Miller thanks for your thoughts on my post. Indeed there is quite a bit of applied science behind usability that derives from taking what we know about cognitive and perceptual psychology and putting it to work to improve human performance (see, for example, Chris Wickens' seminal book - "Engineering Psychology and Human Performance"). Industries like communications and aviation have hired applied psychologists (aka human factors or engineering psychologists) for over 100 years to improve human performance. In medicine, the application of good human factors has been increasing largely in medical devices (e.g., most infusion pumps undergo rigorous user testing). In IT at large (not Health IT) human factors engineering has been around for decades. Health IT is just waking up to the benefits of user research, user-centered design and rigorous testing. I firmly believe that increased usability = increased adoption of EHRs. The white paper I have in my post lays the outline of how to select a useful and usable EHR - or just come see us at HIMSS at booth (#3382) and we can talk about it.
