SUBJECT: New publication from CSTB
Enclosed is a copy of the report, Networking Health: Prescriptions
for the
Internet, which was recently released by the Computer Science
and
Telecommunications Board of the National Research Council. This
report is the
product of a multidisciplinary committee of health professionals
and
information technologists who were charged to examine ways of
enhancing the
Internet to better support a range of health applications. The
committee was
chaired by Professor Edward (Ted) Shortliffe, now at the Columbia-Presbyterian
Medical Center.
Networking Health outlines ways of using the Internet to support
clinical
care, consumer health, public health, health care finance and
administration,
professional education, and biomedical research. Drawing on a
series of site
visits, the report identifies the technical capabilities that
the Internet
must provide in order to support a broad range of health-related
activities
and proposes steps that are needed to ensure that these capabilities
are
implemented in future generations of the Internet. The report
also examines
the organizational and policy issues that impede broader use of
the Internet
in the health community and recommends steps for overcoming these
obstacles.
I hope you will find the report of interest and would appreciate
your
assistance in disseminating it within the health and information
technology
communities. Additional copies of the report are available from
the National
Academy Press (http://www.nap.edu),
and additional information on the project
(including links to the online version of the report) is available
at
www.cstb.org. Please feel free to contact me directly at 202-334-2605
or
jsheehan@nas.edu if you have any questions about the report or
the project or
if you have suggestions of other people or organizations to whom
copies should
be sent. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
