CMS Administrator, Seema Verma kicked off a Twitter campaign on May 6 to encourage people to share their personal experiences with electronic health information interoperability. Individuals interested in sharing their stories can use the hashtag #ItsMyMedicalRecord on social media or email CMS directly. The Agency hopes to receive feedback on individuals’ experiences transferring their electronic health data among physicians, health insurers, and specialists. “At CMS we’re working to drive our healthcare system toward greater medical record exchange where health information flows seamlessly and allows you to take your data with you as you move through your health-care journey.”
