Nick van Terheyden, MD, Board Member and Director, Medical Transcription Industry Association (MTIA)
Dr. Nick van Terheyden brings a distinctive blend of medical practitioner and business strategist, both national and international, to the realm of healthcare technology. A graduate of the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine, University of London, Dr. van Terheyden is a pioneering creator in the evolution of healthcare technology. After several years as a medical practitioner in London and Australia, he joined an international who's who in healthcare, academia and business, in the development of the first electronic medical record in the early 1990's and later, as a business leader in one of the first speech recognition Internet companies.
Description
For nearly two decades healthcare technology has attempted to impose new documentation methods that are more suited to database management but do not meet the needs of the busy practicing physician. Conventional wisdom is that documents are bad and discrete data is good but historically clinicians have resisted efforts to establish structured data entry methodologies trying to replace the clinician preferred method of data capture – dictation. Clinical Document Architecture for Common Document Types (CDA4CDT) offers a bridge between the two opposing worlds of clinical documentation creating semantically interoperable data while retaining the precise clinical content contained in free flowing narrative.
