Becker's Healthcare January 18, 2024
Thirty hospitals and health systems have lent their names to an American Hospital Association lawsuit challenging an HHS data-tracking rule.
The organizations say the rule from the Office of Civil Rights to restrict third-party data sharing would limit the ability of hospitals and health systems to share reliable health information with the public, thus creating a “vacuum for misinformation.” OCR ruled in December 2022 that hospitals and health systems transmitting data to tech companies could violate HIPAA.
The hospitals and health systems that filed a friends-of-the-court-brief Jan. 12 supporting the AHA’s legal challenge are:
AdventHealth (Altamonte Springs, Fla.)
Baylor Scott & White Health (Dallas)
Bon Secours Mercy Health (Cincinnati)
BJC HealthCare (St. Louis)
Care New England (Providence, R.I.)
