Re: Request for Public Comment on Healthcare Standards Development, Adoption, and Implementation
Dear Mr. Landen and Ms. Love,
MGMA is pleased to offer this letter in response to the Request for Public Comment (RPC) from the National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics (NCVHS) entitled “Healthcare Standards Development, Adoption and Implementation” which was published on June 18, 2021. The movement of data and information between the numerous, disparate entities within healthcare is crucial for an efficient and high-functioning healthcare system. MGMA commends NCVHS for this latest RPC and looks forward to being a close partner in this process to modernize the infrastructure linking patients, providers, payers, the public health system, and other actors in healthcare.
