Gene Green: “The Drug Quality and Security Act leaves a large portion of existing law intact. It also leaves many areas of practice…”

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.

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 hope that we can advance this legislation as well.

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