David Raths
David Raths’ blog focuses on health IT policy issues ranging from patient privacy to health information exchanges and federal standards development. He is paying special attention to how the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009 funding reshapes the policy framework in which hospital CIOs operate. Of key importance will be the impact of incoming Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and the billions of dollars that will flow through the Office of the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology. Raths has been covering policy issues for Healthcare Informatics since 2006. He welcomes any feedback as well as suggestions of topics to investigate.
