Gene Green: “We have a really nice hole in a mountain out there that somewhere along the way we are going to need to have a facility…”

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

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.

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.
