Interim HIT coordinator Robert Kolodner

WASHINGTON--I've got nearly pristine audio of the first public comments of Robert Kolodner, M.D., after he was named interim national coordinator for health information technology. The speech was recorded live Monday in Washington, at the Third National Health IT Summit.

I also have audio from outgoing CMS administrator Mark McClellan, M.D., who spoke immediately after Kolodner. I will post that recording later in the week.

The moderator for the Q&A whom you hear at the end of Kolodner's address is John Glaser, vice president and chief information officer of Partners HealthCare, Boston.
