FAH member HCA Healthcare’s Dr. Jim Jiris was recently named to HHS’ The Health Information Technology Advisory Committee (HITAC).

FAH joined with 11 health care provider, health insurer and patient organizations to release a white paper entitled Health IT Leadership Roundtable: Future of Interoperability and Secure Consumer Access to Health Care Data.

“The final interoperability rules issued today lack adequate privacy and security requirements for third-party apps.”

“It is imperative that we get this right to realize the promise of health IT and improve the quality and efficiency of care provided to patients while reducing provider burden.”
