COVID-19 UPDATE FROM MEDCHI
November 4, 2020
Dear MedChi Members and Maryland Physicians:

Happy Wednesday to all. The weather is beautiful, we are anxiously awaiting election results, and we at MedChi continue to serve as your advocate and resource in a tumultuous time.

Here's what we want you to know this week:

UPCOMING VIRTUAL EVENTS

  • Register here for today's Maryland Department of Health all-physician call at 5:00 pm. Please note that there will not be a call next Wednesday in observance of Veteran's Day.




THE LATEST NEWS, INFORMATION, AND RESOURCES

  • AMA President Susan R. Bailey, MD, issued a strong repudiation of misinformation and disinformation campaigns surrounding COVID-19 and called for an end to verbal assaults on physicians.


  • Check out this week's MedChi News, our digital newsletter for MedChi members. This week, we focused on updates from the state's vaccine workgroup.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT LAST WEEK

  • The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) has released a final rule implementing provisions of the 21st Century Cures Act related to electronic health information blocking, interoperability and the ONC Health IT Certification Program. 
As a reminder, open access to MedChi resources for nonmembers will end on January 1, 2021. To ensure that you can continue to access our services, and to support our advocacy on behalf of all physicians, we encourage all nonmembers to join today.

We are your advocate and your resource, and we're here for anything you need. Please don't hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for all that you do as physicians, healers, and heroes.
