St. Louis Congressman Lacy Clay and Republican Congressman Jon Porter from Nevada will convene a congressional field hearing Friday at 1:00 p.m. at Washington University Medical Center.
According to a press release from Clay’s office, the subject of discussion will be how the creation of a proposed national electronic health records network could “prevent thousands of unnecessary patient deaths each year, save billions of healthcare dollars, and provide emergency responders with a powerful new Homeland Security tool to assist them in the event of a terrorist attack or major natural disaster.”
Experts from the government and the private sector will offer testimony about the issues facing healthcare providers as they attempt to create a secure, electronic health records system.
