The Electronic Health Information (EHI) Export requirement is effective Dec. 31, 2023. Part of the 21^st Century Cures Act, this requirement is imposed on system developers such as Meditech, Oracle, EPIC, ECW, etc. So, what is it all about?

All developers of certified health IT modules that store electronic health information are required to certify that their product will meet the export functionality requirements, which include mandates to:

• Electronically export all EHI that is stored as of the date of product certification; and
• Facilitate single-patient EHI access requests, as well as entire patient population EHI exports.
