ACR Advocates for Regulatory Relief and Flexibility for MACRA

From the College  |  April 19, 2017

The ACR is continuing its work with key lawmakers in perfecting policy in the young Trump administration. The ACR is taking advantage of the administration’s focus on reforming regulations and hopes this will be an opportunity for providers to quickly accomplish some high-priority agenda items. These reforms will ultimately enhance the practice environment for physicians and patients alike.

The ACR relies on our seats at the AMA House of Delegates to effect change and influence policy. The letter to strengthen EHR policy is just one of the ways the ACR and the AMA work together in support of rheumatology. Help us become Rheumatology Strong—without a unified voice, we have no voice.
