The Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) is pleased to submit the following comments in response to the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) Intersection of Clinical and Administrative Data Task Force draft report A Path Towards Further Clinical and Administrative Data Integration. This draft report seeks to move the health care ecosystem in the direction of data integration in an effort to decrease administrative burden and improve care for patients. We commend the Task Force for recognizing the need to improve the integration of clinical and administrative data, especially in the area of prior authorization, and for seeking stakeholder feedback on how this best can be accomplished.
