Do you think patients getting timely copies of their electronic records, after-care summaries for each encounter, discharge summaries for each hospital stay and patient reminders for preventive as well as follow-up care are what it takes to provide state-of-the-art care for patients with chronic illness? 'The Disease Management Care Blog doesn’t think so either. The good news, however, is that it and you have an opportunity to let the Feds know why those elements are a good start and are necessary but are still insufficient. You can do so at the Health Information Technology “Federal Advisory Committee Blog” here.
That’s right, the Feds have posted a series of questions that are calling out for your on-line input. The questions range from use of the PHR, leveraging the EHR as a means of collaboration, workflow and data management.
Comments placed today will be used by the Feds in their ongoing deliberations, including an April 20 hearing.
