    AHIMA and Patient ID Now worked with Rep. Bill Foster (D-IL) and Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) to publish this op-ed in The Hill about the importance of patient identification during COVID-19. Check it out and feel free to share with your network!

    Hi Michael,

    I found the site Patient ID Now to be beneficial and informing. I agree with 510 repealed, this would make a large dent in the duplicity and erroneous patient identification that costs so much in time and safety regarding patient care. I like that this is also supported by several big hitters in the health care industry. I really can't see why the Senate would not go with the flow on this. So I will celebrate that hey did pass now!

    Thanks for sharing!
