Today I have the pleasure of posting a conversation I had (on December 1st, 2018) with Dr. David Buchanan, Executive Medical Director for Illinois with Oak Street Health and former Chief Clinical Officer at Erie Family Health Center here in Chicago. I've gotten to know Dr. Buchanan through our daughters who attend the same school, and over the past couple of years we've had some enlightening conversations about the work we both do and our common interests in technology and health informatics. Dr. Buchanan sat down with me at a local coffee shop to talk about his experience with health informatics at Erie, Oak Street, and his experiences as a physician before working with these two organizations. Some topics discussed include medical records (then and now), the affect the ACA (the Affordable Care Act) has had on medical records, and some of the initiatives he's been involved in to make health data more responsive and accessible to providers. This conversation is in 3 parts.
