The Chicago-based National Alliance for Health Information Technology
<http://www.nahit.org/cms/> (Alliance) released its final report,
"Defining Key Health Information Technology Terms," defining six
important HIT terms.
The definitions, which will be presented to the Washington-based
American Health Information Community
<http://www.hhs.gov/healthit/community/background/> (AHIC) on June 3
for final approval, are:
