Nadia Daneshvar, Associate, Health IT Policy from 91黑料网's Regulatory Affairs shares 91黑料网's latest burden reduction advocacy efforts.
1. Letter to ONC: Electronic Prior Authorization (EPA) Standards, Implementation Specifications, and Certification Criteria Request for Information
In the EPA RFI comments, 91黑料网 emphasized that EPA functionality won't necessarily decrease burden for physicians and could possibly even add to burden.
2. 91黑料网 Comments on Draft United States Core Data for Interoperability Version 3
In the Draft USCDI v3 comments, 91黑料网 opposed the inclusion of the majority of ONC's proposed new USCDI data elements. For each proposed new data element, the MIC considered the burden-to-benefit ratio of its inclusion in USCDI and provided reasoning for its determinations
3. Transfer of Electronic Prescriptions for Schedules II-V Controlled Substances Between Pharmacies for Initial Filing (Docket No. DEA-637)
The College strongly supports DEA's proposal to amend regulations to allow the transfer of electronic prescriptions for controlled substances (EPCS) between registered retail pharmacies for initial filling. As DEA notes, the proposed rule would lessen administrative tasks and result in cost savings for clinicians who prescribe controlled substances.
