The rules will reduce administrative burden on doctors so they can spend more time with patients. A recent study from @kpthrive found that emergency room doctors, in order to use electronic health records systems, make up to 4,000 mouse clicks per shift. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

According to the @HHSGov, these two new rules should give more than 125 million patients easier access to their own records in an electronic format. — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s hearing is about two new rules the Department of Health and Human Services has proposed to implement this provision in the 21st Century Cures Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

These hearings led to a bipartisan group of HELP Committee members working together to include a provision in the 21st Century Cures Act to stop information blocking and encourage interoperability. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

So, in 2015, this committee held six bipartisan hearings and formed a working group to find ways to fix the interoperability of electronic health records. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

A major reason for that is that the records are not interoperable. Interoperability is when electronic health records are able to talk to one another and seamless send information between doctors and hospitals. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

In 2015, while this Committee worked on the 21st Century Cures Act, we realized that, in many cases, electronic health records added to administrative burden and increased unnecessary health care spending. — PolitiTweet.org

I believe #climatechange is real. I believe that human emissions of greenhouse gases are a major cause of climate change. And, I believe the Democrat cure for climate change, their #GreenNewDeal, is so far out in left field that not many are going to take it seriously. https://t.co/dc5cZHZ6Lp — PolitiTweet.org
