CCD As the EMR Interoperability Standard

In one of my many discussions with people at HIMSS 10 we started talking about EHR interoperability standards. The person I was talking to worked as an engineer for a vendor that’s entire work is interoperability of EHR data. As we talked, I made the comment that it seems like CCD has won the battle for EMR interoperability. He gave me a kind of blank stare and said, yeah. Basically his response was like yeah everyone knows that. Almost as if there weren’t any other real EMR interoperability options out there. Well, I guess someone better let Google Health know too. As I went through the HIMSS showroom floor, I got the same feeling. The good thing is that I think the people behind CCR are satisfied with this result since CCD is a derivative of sorts from CCR.
