Discussion NR Informatics - Informatics and the Development of Standards

Discuss the roles of federal, state, and local public health agencies in the development of standards for informatics in healthcare.

What roles do each of these agencies play and how do they affect the standardization of informatics? What specific ideas or tools have they created and why do these ideas and tools assist in preventing poor patient outcomes? Do you see any potential issues with these where human error can play a factor? If so, please provide examples.
