In formally submitted comments, the American Society of Anesthesiologists supported a report from the U.S. Senate on re-examining healthcare information technology adoption strategies.
ASA supports maintaining meaningful use hardship exemptions for anesthesiologists, as well as the pending House legislation Electronic Health Records Improvement Act. The bill would further exempt anesthesiologists from providing clinical summaries to patients, being required to provide patients with an electronic copy of health information and implementing drug-to-drug and drug-to-allergy interaction checks.
