At the CHIME-HIMSS Forum held Feb. 23 at the Hyatt Regency Orlando, senior CMS and ONC officials discussed pressing healthcare IT policy issues with Russell P. Branzell, chairman of CHIME, in front of an audience of several hundred attendees.
Just what do the terms “flexibility” and “user-centered design” mean? And what are the senior officials at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) really thinking these days? Russell P. Branzell, president and CEO of the Ann Arbor, Mich.-based College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) spent some time trying to find out, when on the afternoon of Feb. 23, he led a panel discussion at the CHIME-HIMSS Forum being held at the Hyatt Regency Orlando.
