The members of Personal Health Records PHR Work Group Members - CCHIT Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology were announced today, click on the link to see the list.

It’s a pretty impressive group, myself excluded :), and I look forward to participating. Because CCHIT handles proprietary information, I won’t be blogging about my volunteer position with this group here.

CCHIT operates its own web site which includes opportunities for public commentary, and it also operates the EHRDecisions Blog, which I subscribe to.

• Getting a Second Life—in an online health community: Consumer Reports Health Blog -

• Is worker wellness a privacy issue? - Nice article from Jane Sarasohn-Kahn. A reminder that people want to how the data is used to help them. Same thing with patient access - demonstrate how it helps care, and the balance of privacy and utility becomes more even.

• Lululemon’s Next Workout - Profile of a company who's CEO wants to be close to her customer. A great true north - "elevate the world through health and fitness." My own experience finding their expansion strategy - the showroom concept - could be useful to health care organizations

• The Health Care Blog: Kaiser tiptoes into HealthVault & tells THCB about it, with UPDATE - The title says it all. Nice interview with Anna-Lisa Silvestre from Kaiser Permanente.
