At a Senate hearing this week Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) , Chairman of the Senate Health Education Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, talked about improving electronic health records (EHRs) with Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), Sylvia Mathews Burwell.
The two talked about EHRs at the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee hearing on the FY2016 budget request from HHS. Sen. Alexander said he wanted to push making EHRs more usable for doctors to the top of the HELP Committee and HHS’ priority list.
