The College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) and the Healthcare Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) were among the many professional organizations that applauded the recent reintroduction of the Flexibility in Health IT Reporting (Flex-IT) Act of 2015 by select members of the House of Representatives. HIMSS reported on the news:
Healthcare leaders praised the reintroduction of the Flexibility in Health IT Reporting (Flex-IT) Act of 2015, a bipartisan bill granting the nation’s healthcare providers additional flexibility in meeting Meaningful Use (MU) requirements through a shortened reporting period in 2015. Swift action by Congress is needed to help providers already in the 2015 reporting year for Meaningful Use, several healthcare organizations said today.
