PCAST

The Healthcare IT world is abuzz with the report by the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) on realizing the full potential from HIT. Here is a link to the full report:

In John Halamka's review of the PCAST report, he writes:
"In the spirit of my recent blog about The Glass Half Full, I believe the PCAST report is a positive set of recommendations that builds on the Meaningful Use Stage 1 effort to date.   ONC should be congratulated for creating a foundation that is so consistent with the PCAST vision for the future"
Do you agree that the work on HIT thus far (via ONCHIT, Meaningful Use, etc) is consistent with the PCAST recommendations?
