An act relating to establishing a statewide electronic medical records system

This bill directs Vermont's Department of Health to create and manage a statewide electronic medical records system. The system aims to improve health outcomes, protect patient privacy, reduce the need for multiple record interfaces, and lessen administrative burdens on healthcare providers while making health information accessible for patient care and research. It applies to healthcare providers, patients, and the state health department by establishing a unified digital platform for medical records. The legislation focuses on implementing this infrastructure rather than specifying detailed technical requirements or funding mechanisms.
