But with today's announcement, we take a
0:02
major step to bring health care into the
0:05
digital age. Something that uh is
0:08
absolutely vital. You got to do it.
0:11
Moving from clipboards and fax machines
0:14
into a new era of convenience,
0:16
profitability, and speed, and frankly,
0:19
better health for people. Under the
0:21
leadership of administrator Oz, we're
0:24
officially launching the CMS digital
0:26
health tech ecosystem to give health
0:29
care providers, insurers, and software
0:32
companies the tools they need to empower
0:35
Americans with a 21st century experience
0:38
on health. The key breakthrough we've
0:41
made is getting many of the biggest
0:43
names in the healthcare and technology
0:45
to agree to industry-wide standards for
0:49
electronic medical records. All of those
0:52
great companies that you just heard have
0:53
gotten together with this group of very
0:56
brilliant people. I think I don't know
0:58
who's more brilliant, them or them. I I
1:01
don't know. Could be them. I hate to
1:03
tell you. It could very well be them.
1:06
But I don't know. I'm going to take my
1:08
team. But the key breakthrough we've
1:10
made is getting many of the biggest
1:12
names in healthcare and technology to
1:14
agree to that uh real those standards of
1:18
electronic medical records that we talk
1:20
about and you've heard about for so many
1:23
years and now it's happening. This will
1:25
allow patients to easily transmit
1:28
information from one doctor to another.
1:31
Even if they're different networks and
1:33
using different recordkeeping systems,
1:35
no matter what system they use, they're
1:37
all transferable. The new standards will
1:40
also make it simple for patients to
1:42
access their own personal health
1:44
records. I don't want to see mine,
1:46
please. I don't want to see I don't know
1:48
about you. They have all sorts of
1:49
things, sir. They can tell you exactly
1:52
what your problem is going to be in six
1:54
years. We can do it. You know, they have
1:57
all these different things. I don't know
1:58
if they work or not, but I didn't want
1:59
to hear it.
2:01
I didn't want to hear it. If they got a
2:02
problem, I don't want to know about it
2:04
right now. But it is amazing what
2:07
they're doing. I don't know. Does it
2:09
actually work? Can they do that? All
2:11
right. Well, then I'm glad I said I
2:12
don't want to know. But thanks to this
2:14
announcement, healthc care providers
2:16
across the country will also finally be
2:19
able to kill the clipboard. It's an
2:21
expression that's used capital with a
2:24
capital C. Kill the clipboard. Instead
2:27
of filling out the same tedious
2:29
paperwork at every medical appointment,
2:31
patients will simply be able to grant
2:33
their doctors access to their records at
2:36
the push of a button. Just a button and
2:38
you're all set and all the information
2:40
the doctor needs will be immediately
2:43
transmitted.
2:44
The system will be entirely optin and
2:48
there will be no centralized
2:49
governmentrun database which everyone is
2:52
always concerned about. I'm I'm less
2:54
concerned than anybody. I say whatever
2:56
it is it is. But people are very very
2:58
concerned about the personal records.
3:00
They want to keep them very quiet and
3:03
that's their choice. I think uh it's a
3:05
great thing because it will be it'll be
3:07
absolutely quiet. Instead, doctors and
3:09
patients will always remain in control.
3:13
The benefits to millions of Americans
3:15
will be enormous. We will save time. We
3:18
will save money. And most importantly,
3:20
we'll save lives. It's just going to
3:21
make people live longer and be a lot
3:23
healthier. I think that's really what
3:25
you're looking to do.
