For this podcast, we speak with Mark Hagland, editor-in-chief of Healthcare Informatics, about the December issue cover story on data reporting mandates. Thanks to several mandated and voluntary healthcare reform programs as well as meaningful use under HITECH, healthcare IT leaders are faced with a never seen before wave of data reporting accountability. In his article, Hagland talks about the mandates, what they mean and has three case studies of organizations that have already made progress on data reporting.
