About Us
The EHR Association is comprised of industry experts in the field of healthcare information technology with a broad scope of expertise such as medical and clinical informaticists, physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and technology experts who not only represent the EHR software industry but also interact and represent the entire healthcare community. The EHR Association offers unmatched experience and expertise, and provides a forum and structure for EHR leaders to work toward standards development, interoperability, the EHR certification process, performance and quality measures, HIT legislation, and other EHR issues.
The association is a partner of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) and operates as an independent organizational unit within HIMSS for companies who are EHR software solution providers. The EHR Association helps HIMSS establish its strategic direction and official positions on issues related to the electronic health record.
The opportunity to have an important impact on the adoption of EHRs and the proliferation of the benefits these systems can deliver is extraordinary. By working together, we are able to have real influence on initiatives that impact all of our companies and, most importantly, all of the patients and families that our provider organizations serve.
-Carl Dvorak, Epic Systems and Chair of the EHR Association
