Physicians asking to #FIXEHR

The AMA is encouraging physicians to share their stories about their experiences with EHRs and Meaningful Use by posting on a new website created for this purpose. Breaktheredtape.org is a place for physicians to share either written testimonial or videos to attract the attention of Congress. Physicians are also encouraged to use the hashtag #FIXEHR when posting on Twitter.

The efforts of the AMA are in response to frustration by physicians over the issues involved in EHRs and Meaningful Use. Many argue that they are being forced to comply with a system that is not fully functional and there has been a lack of progress by CMS and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT when it comes to using EHRs and Meaningful Use.
