Government and Politics
Senator Roger Marshall, MD (R-KS) highlights the need for improved data and data-sharing amongst his state’s community health clinics during an HHS roundtable on behavioral healthcare:
“I have a saying – if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. So right now, we have 25 different EMRs and 25 different paths, and how do we bring those all into one entity? It’s my belief that we need one EMR and we need one dashboard that works for all of them. I mean, it’s got to be so simple.
“Whether you’re a veteran or you’re a soldier, or you’re an employee of the government, or you’re getting health care through a rural health clinic, or through C box or CCBHCs, we need one EMR. They never are going to communicate with each other. The makers of these do not want them to communicate to each other. The federal government has to say this is the one, and if you don’t communicate with it, you’re done, and you owe us money.”
