LMD Partners with Bush-Appointed Commission on Systemic Interoperability

LAUREL, MD – January 2, 2006 – The Commission on Systemic Interoperability (CSI) recently partnered with LMD to produce Ending the Document Game: Connecting and Transforming Your Healthcare Through Information Technology, a comprehensive report containing the commission's recommendations for a far-reaching, integrated health information network.

"As technology advances, electronic access to health records is a topic of ever-increasing importance," said Sarah Pugh, LMD's president. "We're proud to contribute our talents to help communicate and promote this issue to government leaders, healthcare providers, and the public at large."

CSI was authorized by the Medicare Modernization Act and established by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. President George W. Bush and the U.S. Congress appointed its members, and charged them with developing a strategy to make healthcare information instantly accessible at all times, by consumers and healthcare providers.

LMD was chosen by CSI to brand, design, and manage the production of the print version of the final report – a 200+ page book – and also developed the interactive CD-version of the report and website www.endingthedocumentgame.gov.

CSI delivered the published report in October 2005 to the office of the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the United States Congress for action upon its recommendations. Every member of the United States Congress, as well as key officials at all government agencies and within the White House received a copy of the report.
