Your abstracts of the key elements of the proposed rules are extremely useful for all physicians, patients and healthcare purchasers and payers who appreciate the practical value of:<br /><br />(1)electronically capturing all patient diagnostic test results information in a coded format, <br /><br />(2)using that information to track key clinical conditions and communicating that information for care coordination purposes, <br /><br />(3)enabling the exchange of information in the most structured format possible for the electronic transmission of diagnostic test results (including blood tests, microbiology, urinalysis, pulmonary function tests and other data needed to diagnose and treat disease), and <br /><br />(4) providing for the first time, 24x7 physician and patient access to clinically integrated and comprehensive test results data reported in an standard, intuitive and easy-to-read format that will help promote improvements in quality, safety and efficiency.Bob Coli, MDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14288071117919448030noreply@blogger.com
