Next week (May 9-13) is Patient ID Week! Throughout the week we will highlight why the US needs a national strategy on patient identification & matching, and what Congress can do to protect patient safety & privacy. #patientIDnow
AHIMA members are telling their Congressional representatives their stories today in support of the LINC to Address Social Needs Act and repealing Section 510 in the Labor-HHS bill to finally address patient misidentification.

Thank you Monique Mrazek, @donrucker, @herkocoomans for a great discussion this am at #Vive2022 about global opportunities for interoperability. Reminds us that challenges nations face w/r/t interoperability are not always unique and with collaboration we can reach new heights!
Excited to be joining @HITpolicywonk from @Change_HC and Andrew Tomlinson from @CIOCHIME next week as we talk about application of the information blocking rules.
I will be joining Andrew Tomlinson from @CIOCHIME and @ellis_ln from @AHIMAResources on October 1 to discuss the Real World Applications of Info Blocking Rules. Register today for this live @Change_HC webinar! https://t.co/fKwmtGD5cO #IWork4CHNG

It's official! With the passage of today's minibus, the House has removed Sec. 510 for the 3rd consecutive year! 🎉This victory would not have been possible w/o the support of our members & Congressional champions. It's now time for the Senate to follow suit! #PatientIDNow
Hey health IT, the HHS OIG has updated its regulatory agenda entry. Final rule estimated for September 2021 that would implement OIG's authority to investigate claims of information blocking and impose CMPs for information blocking.
