EHR Association Calls for Further Action on HTI-2
December 17, 2024 - 02:09
The EHR Association is expressing disappointment following the recent decision by the agency, which finalized only a portion of the HTI-2 rule. Members of the association are urging the agency to take further steps to address their concerns, particularly regarding the decision support intervention measurements that were proposed in the draft rule.
These measurements are crucial for enhancing the effectiveness of electronic health records (EHR) and improving patient care. The association believes that without the finalization of these additional measurements, the potential benefits of the HTI-2 rule may not be fully realized.
Furthermore, the EHR Association is calling for clarity on several uncertainties surrounding the rule, which could impact implementation and compliance for healthcare providers. As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, the association emphasizes the importance of comprehensive guidelines that support health IT advancements and ultimately enhance patient outcomes. The ongoing dialogue between the EHR Association and the agency will be pivotal in shaping the future of health information technology.
