In presentation at the National Institutes of Health, the AMIA’s Gil Alterovitz, PhD, a professor at Boston-based Harvard Medical School, said the association supports “using a wide range of technologies” and “technology-enabled approaches” that would give patients the chance to contribute to their medical record.
The AMIA said it believes the following:
- A solid standard should “[separate] structure from meaning.”
- Standards have to be “built on smaller building blocks to provide flexibility in use.”
- All standards have to “include context.”
