AMIA CIS-WG Approves Patient Demographic Interoperability

The American Medical Informatics Association Computer Information Systems Working Group has approved a white paper calling for implementation of basic patient demographic interoperability using IETF vCardDAV across all HIT applications including practice management. Surprisingly this mostly doesn’t exist right now and most have to register and re-register patients basic demographic information manually. It goes to the working group steering committee now for further approval.
