Health Story Project Founder Lands Contract with ONC

Alschuler Associates, a founding partner and executive committee member of The Health Story Project, was recently awarded a contract (in partnership with Deloitte, LLC) with the Office for the National Coordinator (ONC) to support standards development and harmonization of EHR adoption/integration. The selection of a Health Story Project administrator in this role is important news to the healthcare documentation sector at a time when having advocates for codified narrative in the EHR is so critical to this sector’s messaging about preservation of the patient story. Alschuler will be uniquely positioned to impact dialogue around certification of EHRs and the integration of narrative reporting in the adoption strategy of providers seeking solutions that meet meaningful use criteria. AHDI extends its congratulations to Liora Alschuler for this accomplishment.
