That's the title of the <a href=http://www.house.gov/hasc/calendar_next_week.shtml>hearing</a> that the House Armed Service Committee's subcommittee on Joint Military Personnel and Terrorism, Unconventional Threats and Capabilities plans to hold on March 24. It will be on the Defense Department's AHLTA (<a href= http://whatsbrewin.nextgov.com/2009/02/oh_ahlta_is_a_proper_noun.php>remember, not an acronym</a>) electronic health record system.
That's the title of the hearing that the House Armed Service Committee's subcommittee on Joint Military Personnel and Terrorism, Unconventional Threats and Capabilities plans to hold on March 24. It will be on the Defense Department's AHLTA (remember, not an acronym) electronic health record system.
The subtitle of the hearing is, "Where Do We Go From Here?" Hopefully, that question will be answered by a panel of witnesses that include Dr. S. Ward Casscells, assistant secretary of Defense for Health Affairs; the Army, Navy and Air Force surgeon generals; and Charles Campbell, chief information officer of the Military Health System.
I can hardly wait.
