  3. Clinical Applications Coordinator “Doctors are not very specific, they talk in generalities. The programmers don’t ask enough questions they just start writing code. I had my assistant, Betsy Levin who was one of the first CAC’s in the country. She was not a programmer, but we taught her how to do some things. She learned how to talk to programmers and speak their language, then get back to the doctors. The CAC’s I currently work with are a nurse, social worker, speech therapist, and lab tech. All have different backgrounds and can think about patient care. You have to have an intermediary who can do these types of things; they are the most important person in the equation. Don’t train the CAC’s to do the programming, they just have to talk the language, and be patient with programmers.” Dr. Lewis Coulson, Chief Ambulatory of Care & Strategic Planning, Jesse Brown VA
