The AMA, along with 36 other medical societies, is petitioning CMS and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology for changes to how it measures interoperability of electronic health records.According to an AMA press release, the coalition of associations delivered a letter to Andrew Slavitt, acting administrator to CMS, and Karen DeSalvo, the national coordinator for ONC, in response to the agencies' requests for information on assessing interoperability for the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA).
