HIA Signs-on to Congressional Letter supporting the Foster-Kelly amendment in the FY 2021 Labor-HHS Appropriations bill

HIA joins 63 health organizations in support of the amendment offered by Representative Foster (IL) and Representative Kelly (PA) to strike Section 510 of the Labor-HHS Appropriations bill (H.R. 7617), which would impede  the adoption of a national patient identifier. Ensuring that we have the right patient at the point of care is paramount for patient safety, especially in the midst of a pandemic.
