eHI Consensus Legislation Development Effort
The eHealth Initiative is launching a member-driven process to create consensus across multiple stakeholders in healthcare regarding the specific actions that Congress can and should take to improve the quality, safety and efficiency of American healthcare through information and information technology—in a way that is responsible, sustainable, responsive to each stakeholder’s needs, and which builds and maintains the public’s trust. (Last updated June 2) Click here for more information.
Capitol Hill Steering Group on Telehealth and Healthcare Informatics
The eHealth Initiative works with the Capitol Hill Steering Group on Telehealth and Healthcare Informatics to sponsor regular briefings. The Steering Group -- now in its 12th year -- holds frequent briefings on a wide variety of health information technology topics, ranging from chronic care to patient safety to bioterrorism. Honorary Co-chairs are Senators Mike Crapo (R-ID) and Kent Conrad (D-ND) and Representatives Eric Cantor (R-VA) and Rick Boucher (D-VA).
A slide presentation from the Capitol Hill Steering Group's recent Technology Fair covering "An Industry Roadmap toward Interoperability" on June 21st is available here.
