Like water or breath, stories surround us.  Like water or breath, we consume stories, are refreshed by them.  Like water or breath, stories are essential elements of our survival.  Storytellers & their audiences from antiquity till today have shared the same goal, the goal to connect.  But while the “song has remained the same”, the tools that connect the storyteller to their audience has evolved at the same breakneck speed as other technological innovations.  One day, we connect through drawings on the walls of a cave.  Another day, through bits and bytes on a screen.    Welcome to STEPS to Value, a podcast that explores the intersection of people, processes & technology in healthcare as the industry moves towards a value-focused model.  In this episode we will explore the state of health information exchange and the impact that Consolidated Clinical Document Architecture, or C-CDA, has on the ability to more effectively connect clinicians with their patient’s clinical narratives.  This Episode’s Guests:Bryn Lewis, PhDPrincipal ConsultantWebQILearn more about BrynLisa Nelson, MS, MBAPrincipal ConsultantLife Over Time Solutions, LLC.Learn more about LisaLearn more about the ONC/HL7 C-CDA Rendering Tool Challenge This Episode's Promo:A Vision to Build Comprehensive Electronic Records That Tell a Patient’s Complete Health StoryThe Health Story Project is a volunteer group within HIMSS that works to educate the health IT community on tools and resources to aid in the creation of comprehensive electronic records that tell a patient's complete health story.
