As a leader in the Patient ID Now Coalition, AHIMA, with the coalition and our champions on Capitol Hill, has developed legislation to improve patient matching. That legislation, H.R.7379, the Patient Matching and Transparency in Certified Health IT (MATCH IT) Act has been introduced by Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) and Rep. Bill Foster (D-IL)!
AHIMA needs your help to raise support for the MATCH IT Act of 2024!
Take part by visiting the AHIMA Action Center and write to your Representatives to urge them to cosponsor the bill, which would create a standard definition of the term “patient match rate” as well as improve standardization of patients’ demographic elements entered into certified health IT products.
Reach out to your Representatives today to urge them to cosponsor the MATCH IT Act!
