Since 2008, experienced psychiatrist Dr. Ginari G. Price has served as the medical director of Psycare, LLC in Fayetteville, Georgia. In conjunction with her career, Dr. Ginari G. Price belongs to various medical organizations as part of her ongoing professional development. One such organization is the American Medical Association.
The American Medical Association (AMA) recently announced its support of more rigorous monitoring and testing standards released by the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) regarding oversight of electronic health records. The AMA also says it will provide support for the ONC’s framework.
Under the new rules, the ONC has an increased ability to analyze and remedy problems with electronic health records. They will also assess these records to ensure they adhere to certification standards. In cases where electronic health records are not in compliance, the ONC can require vendors to draft and follow plans to correct the issues.
Health record compliance is one of the key issues that the ONC has brought to the attention of the Obama Administration, and the AMA has gone on record supporting this effort.
By taking a greater role in ensuring electronic health record compliance, the ONC provides physician support by relaying appropriate information regarding the health of their IT programs.
