Becker's Healthcare September 27, 2022
Ten healthcare organizations are asking HHS to give healthcare providers an additional year to comply with information-sharing regulations in the 21st Century Cures Act.
The 21st Century Cures Act prohibits healthcare organizations from using information-blocking practices and mandates that they be able to share all electronic protected health information. The deadline to comply with these regulations is Oct. 6, according to the Sept. 26 letter sent to HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra.
The healthcare organizations cite feedback from their vendors, lack of technological infrastructure and confusion on what constitutes electronic health information as reasons for the postponement.
