Gene Green: “So right now there is no Federal regulation?”

The Cures Act aimed to build on the progress of the HITECH Act of 2009, but by focusing on improving interoperability, patient access to their health records, and reducing provider burden.

These numbers are troubling as we are because even more acute when you look at the existing racial, socioeconomic, and geographic disparities.

I am extremely disappointed that 2 years after the passage of Cures we still do not have the regulations necessary to implement these provisions.

I'm happy to once again support my colleague Mr. Engel's bill, to rein in this dangerous practice.
