The benefits of Meaningful Use are now available for the patients with the help of HL7's International Context-aware Knowledge Retrieval Standard, also known as Infobutton Standard.
"Now there is an easier way to help doctors keep their patients fully informed and engaged and extend the benefits of 'meaningful use' provisions outlined by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act," says Don Kemper, Healthwise CEO and co-author of the new paper "Getting Patients to Meaningful Use: Using the HL7 'Infobutton' Standard for Information Prescriptions".
The soon-to-be-finalized Health Level 7 (HL7) International Context-aware Knowledge Retrieval Standard (nicknamed the "Infobutton" Standard) makes it possible for providers of electronic health records (EHRs) and personal health records (PHRs) to deliver the information therapy the patient needs. This draft standard has been widely adopted since 2007.
The HL7 "Infobutton" standard was first developed primarily to deliver contextually relevant decision-support information for the physician, and it does that well. Now it can also be used to request and prescribe the information the patient needs to actively manage his or her health issues.
