Kevin Hutchinson serves on the federal Health Information Technology Standards Panel, advising President Barack Obama's national coordinator for health IT, Dr. David Blumenthal, on the development and use of health information interoperability standards. Hutchinson is CEO of Prematics, an e-prescribing and care communications service provider. 

In this podcast, he tells Editor Bernie Monegain what it's like to sit on the standards panel while continuing to work a day job, and talks about the barriers to e-prescribing and what it will take to overcome them. Prior to joining Prematics, Hutchinson was the founding president and CEO of Surescripts from 2002 to 2008.
