(Photos by Audrey Kudler.)



DCPCA conducted hands-on training sessions in early March 2010 for new users of the DC Regional Health Information Organization (DC RHIO) health information exchange (HIE) system.  For many of the attendees, it was their first opportunity to use the live system and try their hand at looking across multiple community health centers and hospitals to find data on their patients.  Eighty-three attendees represented all six of our early adopter health centers – Bread for the City, Family Medical and Counseling Service, Inc., La Clínica del Pueblo, Mary's Center for Maternal and Child Care, SOME, and Whitman-Walker Clinic.  The attendees were enthusiastic about the new HIE system and the opportunity to practice using the DC RHIO in real scenarios.  In addition to the training sessions for health centers, DCPCA conducted offsite training at Georgetown University Hospital with their emergency department doctors via conference call.  The DC RHIO went live on March 1st.  For more info, contact This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , Senior HIT Coordinator, at (202) 638-0252 ext. 202.

Construction Update
February 2, 2010

On Groundhog Day, all (construction) signs point to further progress on the vacant lot next to Bread for the City, 1525 - 7th Street NW, in Ward 2 -- although the equipment is under another layer of snow.

Bread's staff is working with DC Greenworks to prepare to build a garden on their roof.  They're applying for funding and also making plans to have a study conducted by the DC Department of the Environment, DC Greenworks, and the University of Maryland in regards to runoff from the roof.
