We don't need a new XML standard in healthcare, especially one that is US-centric and not developed with international input like the standards we do have. That's a step or three backwards from where we are today.<br /><br />But, we could certainly use a better process to harmonize the standards we have. I believe the NIEM could help here.<br /><br />That's why the lack of information is so concerning. It appears that the US could be about to begin developing healthcare standards on it's own, through a private contractor, and ignoring what's already been done. While I don't think that's what is really happening, the lack of information, and articles like the one you referenced make it conceivable.Keith W.
