|

From AHIMA CSA Leaders and House of Delegates Digest August 10, 2020
Patient ID Now, a coalition of leading healthcare organizations including AHIMA, was pleased that the U.S. House of Representatives voted to remove the longstanding ban in its Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies appropriations bill that stifles innovation around patient identification. As COVID-19 exacerbates concerns of patient misidentification afflicting the country’s health system, AHIMA continues to advocate for accurate identification of patients. “We are very excited that the House of Representatives has taken this step towards addressing the harmful effects of patient misidentification,” said AHIMA CEO Wylecia Wiggs Harris, PhD, CAE. “This bipartisan effort is a true demonstration of lawmakers working to protect patient safety, public health, and lessening the burden on the health system.”
