Watching History
Guest Blogger, Katie Carlin, Director, Research Development, Planning and Communications
I’m by no means a politician, but there’s something pretty
cool about watching one of our own testify live in a senate committee hearing!
I’m currently live streaming Raj Ratwani, PhD and
Scientific Director, National Center For Human Factors In Healthcare testify on
the topic of “Achieving the Promise of Health Information Technology: Improving
Care Through Patient Access to Their Records.” He is joined by the Founder of
the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation as well as the GM for Health and Life
Sciences at Intel. The US Senate Committee on Health and Education (comprised
of 22 senators) is discussing the current usability state of EHRs and how
patient access, safety and understanding of data can be better improved with
more uniform guidelines.
It’s a wonderful and proud moment to watch Raj represent
MedStar and our stellar Human Factors Engineering Team so well – and more
importantly to know that their great work is informing policy which will
directly improve the safety and care of every patient in the nation!
