The Medical Assistance Promoting Interoperability Program, formerly the Medical Assistance Electronic Health Record Incentive Program (MA EHR), is in the process of updating their State Medical Assistance Health Information Technology Plan (SMHP) for 2019.

Your assistance is requested in reviewing and updating this SMHP document by providing feedback or suggestions for this year. The deadline to submit your review is Tuesday, August 6, 2019 at noon. Please use the comments feature, in lieu of track changes, to record your proposed edits to the plan. With multiple reviewers, integrating all input with track changes can become unwieldy. In this way, they can better manage version control on their end. In addition, please save your changes with your last and first name. For example, smith- john_PA_SMHP_2019_DRAFT.docx.

During this stage of the document creation process, they are looking for specific content suggestions, clarifications, and projects. For background information on the SMHP, visit this web page. Contact RCPA Children’s Division Director Jim Sharp with questions.
