Join NCSL Project Health Information Technology Champions (HITCh) via web-cast for a program on EHR, EMR, PHR: PATIENT-CENTERED HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND STATE POLICY OPPORTUNITIES

This program is a broadcast of the NCSL HITChampions Partnership meeting in New Orleans. A panel of national experts will discuss electronic health records (EHR), electronic medical records (EMR) and personal health records (PHR). What are they? How can state policymakers influence how they are used? Panelists will talk about privacy and security concerns, give examples of successful state efforts, and describe the experience of Katrina Health, a dramatic public-private collaboration that created partial health records for many after Katrina.  Participants are invited to submit questions on this issue to the panelists, either in advance or during the program, and participate electronically in the discussion.
