Opinion: A new HHS rule takes a far too narrow approach to health care data interoperability
A new HHS rule takes a far too narrow approach to health care data interoperability.
In 2016, the 21st Century Cures Act required that the U.S. make progress toward interoperability, which it defined as “all electronically accessible health information” to be accessed, exchanged and used “without special effort on the part of the user.”
In December, seven years after the passage of the bill, the Department of Health and Human Services finalized a rule that will penalize providers for blocking access to electronic health information.
