RE: [ihc] HHS OIS/ONC and OASIS?

Hmmmm, you got me on that one. Patrick Gannon
has been spending more time with the Feds lately – perhaps he has some
ideas? We could also contact Scott McGrath.

Subject: [ihc] HHS OIS/ONC and
OASIS?

 

Folks just continuing this thought process from our discussions before
in this area.

 

Can someone explain the rationale that says the Office of
Interoperability and Standards 

(OIS), in the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology
(ONC) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) could
operate without being a member of OASIS? 

 

Assuming that we all concur that this is a less than ideal situation -
who within OIS / ONC would be a stakeholder whom we could convince of the
value here - and persuade to go to bat with HHS to become an OASIS member?

 

Thanks, DW
