Launched a week ago, Health IT Buzz will have Blumenthal blogging on several discussion points: Activities to advance standards to achieve interoperability; evaluation of new options for EHS certification; guidance initiatives to protect the privacy and security of health information; plus, a consideration of overall privacy and security concerns.

Blumenthal envisions the blog as a forum for providers, consumers, policymakers and technology experts — that includes you — to share your healthcare IT perspectives. So, be sure to post your comments over at Health IT Buzz.
