What the AAFP is doing to help with electronic health records
The AAFP actively advocates to:
Simplify EHR requirements: The AAFP is urging federal agencies to reduce documentation requirements and align EHR use standards with real-world clinical practice.
Promote cybersecurity without overload: In letters to HHS and CISA, we support improved cybersecurity while requesting expectations for small and rural practices.
Defend small practices: Our recent letters to Congress highlight the disproportionate burden small practices face from overlapping regulations and documentation demands.
These efforts aim to alleviate administrative burdens, allowing family physicians to dedicate more time to patient care.
