EHRVA - Electronic Health Record (EHR)
Vendors Association
Electronic Medical Records
EHRVA
HIMSS EHRVA is a trade
association of Electronic Health Record (EHR) vendors that
addresses national efforts to create interoperable EHRs in
hospital and ambulatory care settings.
HIMSS EHRVA operates on the premise that
the rapid, widespread adoption of EHRs will help improve the
quality of patient care and the productivity of the
healthcare system.
The primary mission of the association is to provide a forum
for the EHR vendor community relative to standards
development, the EHR certification process,
interoperability, performance and quality measures, and
other EHR issues that may become the subject of increasing
government, insurance and physician association initiatives
and requests.
Given the large number and variety of organizations that are
becoming involved in EHR issues, having an EHR trade
association is an effective way to provide undiluted input
from a vendor community that offers significant experience
and expertise.
The organizational framework of the association is
designed to ensure full compliance with all applicable laws.
The association is a partner of the Healthcare Information
and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) and operates as an
organizational unit within HIMSS for vendors who are EHR
software solution providers.
HIMSS EHRVA helps HIMSS establish its strategic direction
and official positions on issues related to the EHR.
