Groups to Unify I.T. Policy Agenda

Title: Message

(June 22, 2005) The American Health Information Management 
Association and American Medical Informatics Association will work to develop a 
common I.T. policy agenda. 

The goal is to have a clearer, unified message to policymakers from those 
designing and building health care information technology systems, and those 
using the systems. 

Under a memorandum of understanding, the groups will create and maintain a 
common agenda for public policy positions, issue joint position statements, 
sponsor events to educate policymakers, and share information among their 55,000 
members. 

The associations will jointly work in such areas as advancing the use of 
health care information technology, addressing workforce issues, advocating 
standards, and protecting the privacy and security of health information. 

Additional details are available at www.ahima.org and www.amia.org.
