Gene Green: “I am proud of the efforts of the group of original co-sponsors of the SOFTWARE Act.”

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

Neither these bills nor the Committee's other efforts have gone far enough to address many of the underlying challenges facing this sector.

I hope that we can advance this legislation as well.

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.
