Remove the federal budget ban that prevents HHS from working on a voluntary patient safety identifier (MyHealthID)

Created by P.L. on March 20, 2016

Remove the federal budget ban that prohibits the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) from participating in efforts to find a patient identification solution. We support a voluntary patient safety identifier. Accurate patient identification is critical in providing safe care but the sharing of electronic health information is being compromised because of patient identification issues. Let's start the conversation and find a solution.
