The EHR Association has previously written about our belief that smart deregulation, a core policy priority of the current administration, can eliminate outdated or redundant regulatory requirements that are of limited value to patients, providers, and developers. By focusing on policies that drive improvements in standardized interoperability and health data exchange, regulatory agencies will better support the industry’s ability to deliver safe, effective, and innovative technology solutions without slowing forward momentum or devaluing existing investments.
