While serving the VA as chief health informatics officer, Kolodner helped develop and oversee the VistA electronic health records system and MyHealtheVet, a health portal for veterans.
At a recent conference in Washington, DC, Kolodner said health IT plays a key role in government plans to move to a payment system that focuses on quality improvement. Among the obstacles to health IT, he said, are privacy and security concerns and the lack of interoperability among information systems.
