| IN RE: | HB3472 by Delisi (Relating to the promotion of an electronic health record system for health care programs or health insurance plans administered by the State of Texas.), As Introduced |
The bill would allow agencies that administer or sponsor state health care programs or health insurance plans to request that providers, programs, plans, or insurers submit a plan for the use of electronic health care records and would allow those state agencies to consider a vendor's use of electronic health care records as a factor in the contracting process.
No significant fiscal impact to the state associated with the provisions of the bill is anticipated.
