JOINT MEMORIAL · 2009–10 SESSION

SJM 8003: Health info technology

Requesting that Congress issue a date at which health information technology must comply with a uniform national standard of interoperability.

Summary

The Senate Joint Memorial states that health information systems are unable to communicate with each other and that the benefit of health information technology is only derived from systems that can communicate with each other. It recognizes national leadership calling for standards of interoperability and the goal of implementing electronic health records for all Americans by 2014.
