EHR Summit Recap
Electronic health record modernization has been on the rise in government agencies recently. It has enabled data interoperability, patient empowerment of data, and ease of use for clinicians and providers. This summit will dive into the nature of EHRs, best practices in their infrastructure, and how changes in EHR policy and use are making impacts in the clinical setting.
Fireside Chat: Empowering Patients with Improved EHRs
Modernized electronic health records have been a boon in patient and clinician empowerment in recent years, with interoperability, APIs, and standards for patient data portability making it easier for patients to get a hold of their data. ONC has been a leader in setting the scene for EHR standardization, so this keynote will examine what ONC has done to empower patients with EHRs and what the future holds for EHR modernization.
