Title: RE: [ihc] RE: [egov] US Bill to sponsor interoperability in healthcare funding.
Hi Brett,
I believe it may simply be a matter of
semantics. The person who made the statement (or as I understand the statement
to mean) was Mary Forbes. She said that the name change was made because they
did not want to imply ______ (and it's that blank that I don't
recall).
Hope that helps - at least a
bit.
Joe

Hi Joe, I suppose that change means something, but I don't know
what it is?

I understand from yesterday's Data Reference Model
(DRM) Public Forum
that the National Health Information Network is now going
to be referred
to as the Nationwide Health Information
Network.
