]]> Comment on What is AHLTA? by Robert Connors http://www.ehealthdesigns.com/?p=260&cpage=1#comment-3 Robert Connors Mon, 30 Mar 2009 20:50:52 +0000 http://www.ehealthdesigns.com/?p=260#comment-3 Looks like a major re-engineering effort is planned for AHLTA to deal with the front-end data entry problems and network reliability problems. See: http://govhealthit.com/articles/2009/03/25/casscells-new-plan.aspx I just hope they don't throw out the baby with the bath water. In my opinion, a lot of the problem could be fixed by letting clinicians use more free text up front, and applying Natural Language Processing to turn the free text into codes. No need to spend billions of dollars more to fix AHLTA. Looks like a major re-engineering effort is planned for AHLTA to deal with the front-end data entry problems and network reliability problems.
