117.977 Quality Improvement in Clinical/Population Health Information Systems
The Medical Society of the State of New York will request that the American Medical Association invite other expert physician associations into the AMA consortium to further the quality improvement of electronic health records (EHR’s) and Population Health as discussed in the consortium letter of January 21, 2015 to the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology.
MSSNY will support efforts by the AMA to secure specific changes to the EHR certification process which will enhance security of information contained in an EHR, prioritize functionality testing, decouple EHR certification from the meaningful use program and support greater standardization and greater transparency of standards which support interoperability of EHR’s.
