		<title>Vindicated</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I must admit. I love the feeling of being proven right. Granted, it appeals to my egotistic streak. (which despite my attempts to suppress it, my wife remains keenly annoyed by).
A few weeks ago, at TEPR, I did my regular talk the Health of the Source, which is basically an update on the whole FOSS [...]]]></description>

		<title>In all Fairness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Its time to set the record straight on what are valid criticisms of HealthVault and Google Health and what are not. If you have ever read my posts, then you can be sure that when an organization needs criticizing I am the first to give it them with both barrels. But here both Google and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Health of the Source</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I pretty regularly give a talk entitled &#8220;The health of the source&#8221;. The subject of the talk is everything that has happened in health FOSS, since the last time I gave the talk. Thankfully things move along fast enough that I am never short of content. You will find this article dripping with useful bias [...]]]></description>

		<title>Defining terms</title>
		<description><![CDATA[NAHIT has released its definitions.
In summary:
An EMR is a record for the doctor.
An EHR is a record for the doctors. (with data ready to move)
A PHR is a record for the patient.
A HIE is the process of moving health data.
A HIO is a O that does HIE.
A RHIO is a HIO that is Regional.
Well now [...]]]></description>

		<title>What do about the VA crisis: the aboveground railroad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dana has just written a new article Why are reformers destroying Veterans&#8217; health computer system. It focuses on the disastrous centralization movement within the VA. Specifically it references Roger Maduro&#8217;s impeccably researched editorial in the Jan 2008 edition of Vista News which Roger edits.
Roger and I tend to see this issue in the same way. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Credit where it is due</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I use this forum to grip quite a bit. When someone does something silly or stupid, I do not hesitate to blast them. It is only fitting that when someone does something right, they get equal time for praise.
Skip McGaughey and his new group the Open Health Tools seem to qualify. Here is what they [...]]]></description>

		<title>FUD From Dr Peel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[FUD stands for Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. You should probably take a moment and read the wiki-page, otherwise the rest of this post might be lost on you.
In the United States, FUD seems to be a legitimate marketing strategy for many institutions. Microsoft uses FUD regarding the coverage of their patents on the Linux kernel. [...]]]></description>

		<title>HealthVault team responds to security model criticism.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In further evidence that the Microsoft HealthVault team might actually be making good on a move towards real openness. Sean Nolan has addressed some of my criticisms in a post entitled Sharing Data using HealthVault 
I have updated the post in question to correct the errors that I had made. However, even with the correction [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google Health vs. HealthVault round 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Everyone is talking about Googles new PHR offering vs. Microsoft HealthVault. Mostly the talk is drivel. I was able to get a seat at the Press Interview with Google CEO Eric Schmidt at HIMSS and, I kid you not, two reporters asked &#8220;Is the data in Google Health covered by HIPAA?&#8221; within five minutes of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Meeting Dr. Peel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Medsphere, and the Shreeve Tragedy have left me a little jaded. I have little patience for those who threaten the health FOSS community. Believe it or not, I rarely allow my aggression to turn public. I can think of at least 5 friendships with current FOSS community members, that began with rather nasty emails originating [...]]]></description>
