The American Medical Association (AMA) announced today that AMA Board Member Jesse M. Ehrenfeld, MD, MPH, has been named to the advisory committee of the Substitutable Medical Applications & Reusable Technology (SMART) Platforms project.

The goal of the SMART project, which was spawned at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, is to ensure electronic health record (EHR) systems work better for physicians and patients. A key component of this effort is the development of a flexible information infrastructure that allows for free, open development of plug and play applications (apps) to increase interoperability among health care technologies, including EHRs, in a more cost-effective way.
