Overlaid & duplicate records are an obstacle to matching patients to their health record. The MATCH IT Act will improve standards & data quality in patient health records. @repkatcammack, I ask that you cosponsor the MATCH IT Act today! #AHIMAadvocates #patientIDnow

The MATCH IT Act of 2024 is a step forward in addressing the issue of patient misidentification. @repkatcammack, I ask that you cosponsor H.R.7379 and make progress towards a safer and more interoperable healthcare system. #AHIMAadvocates #patientIDnow

@senrickscott, did you know that 35% of all denied claims result from inaccurate patient ID, costing hospitals $2.5 million and the healthcare system over $6.7 billion annually? We must fix misidentification. Protect patients and repeal the UPI ban! #patientIDnow

@marcorubio, did you know that the inability to accurately match patients to their health records is a roadblock to achieving nationwide interoperability? Join the Patient ID Now coalition as we advocate for the removal of Sec. 510 of the Labor-H bill. #patientIDnow

[Geri Newman @geri_newman]

We need accurate data to inform public health. Incomplete or inaccurate information in patient records risks individual patients and public health efforts. @repkatcammack, I ask you to repeal Sec. 510 of Labor-HHS bill. #patientIDnow

[Geri Newman @geri_newman]

@repkatcammack It's Patient ID Week! On average, 109.6 hours per week per health organization are spent resolving patient identity issues, which is burdensome and costly to both patients and providers. Repeal Sec. 510 of the Labor-H bill, the ban on a UPI, in FY24. #patientIDnow

[Geri Newman @geri_newman]

@marcorubio, patient misidentification costs patients almost $2k per inpatient stay, and over $1,700 per emergency department visit. Let’s bring down healthcare costs. Repeal Sec. 510 of the Labor-HHS appropriations bill. #patientIDnow

The pandemic shows the need to address patient misidentification. Accurate ID of patients is one of the most difficult issues during a PHE. @KatCammack, we must repeal Section 510 to protect public health. #patientIDnow

[Geri Newman @geri_newman]

The inclusion of Section 510 contributes to serious patient privacy concerns within the health system, including overlaid records, which could result in a HIPAA breach. @SenRickScott, please support patient ID! #patientIDnow
