I agree with that concern. I will be even more concerned if the
definitions are different - particularly the use of EMR. But what's one
more?

Can anyone explain me why this is NOT a duplication of efforts with ongoing
ISO - CEN - OpenEHR - HL7 - IHE work?
Call For Participation in HIT Definitions Work Groups
Under the direction of management and technology consulting firm
BearingPoint, Inc. (NYSE: BE), The National Alliance for Health
Information Technology (Alliance) is working with the Office of the
National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) to engage
health care stakeholders in a participatory process to define key health
IT terms.
The first step is in the process is to form two works that will develop
consensus-based definitions for the standard use of key health information
technology (IT) terms. As part of a project, a Records Work Group will be
formed to develop consensus on definitions for electronic medical record
(EMR), electronic health record (EHR), and personal health record (PHR)
while the Networks Work Group will develop consensus on definitions for
health information exchange (HIE) and regional health information
organization (RHIO).
The Alliance is accepting applications for work group membership on its
web site at http://www.definitions.nahit.orgWeb Bug from
http://i.ixnp.com/images/v3.0/t.gif from November 5 to November 16, 2007.
For the work groups, the Alliance is seeking volunteers from providers,
manufacturers/vendors of healthcare IT products, payers, purchasers,
employers, consumer advocacy groups, associations and professional
organizations, academic institutions, government and currently operating
health information exchanges and regional health information
organizations. Candidates should be:
* Leaders of national stature, able to simultaneously represent the
healthcare field, their respective sector category and their organization.
* Experts with experience in the focus area of the work group.
* Recognized leaders within their organization, able and willing to
engage their organization in this project.
The first work group meetings will be held November 30, and workgroups are
expected to meet on a biweekly basis via teleconference until a final
report is published at the end of March 2008.
