EHR Connection, December 13, 2004
The American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) in a letter urged outgoing HHS Secretary Tommy Thompson to fund the Office of the National Coordinator for HIT (ONCHIT) with HHS budget discretionary funds.
"We were shocked and disappointed in Congress' failure to provide the $50 million requested by the President to support health information technology efforts," wrote Linda Kloss, RHIA, CAE, executive vice president and CEO of AHIMA.
