The Cost of Patient Misidentification and How You Can help


8.8.2019
By Leslie Krigstein – VP, Congressional Affairs


This June the U.S. House of Representatives passed an amendment that would remove a ban that has hobbled efforts to create a nationwide unique patient identifier. The Senate is now in a position to move this issue forward if they follow suit.

What’s at stake? Nothing less than patients’ lives. Please click here to read the full commentary, which was published Aug. 7 in Fierce Healthcare. Contact the public policy team at [email protected] for help reaching your senators.
