EHR Intelligence April 11, 2023
The ONC survey found that hospitals were more likely to report information blocking from healthcare providers than health IT developers
Over 40 percent of hospitals observed practices they perceived to constitute information blocking in 2021, according to an ONC survey of 2,092 nonfederal acute care hospitals.
Researchers fielded the survey shortly after the April 2021 applicability date of the 21st Century Cures Act Final Rule’s information blocking provisions, which prohibit interfering with, preventing, or materially discouraging access, exchange, or use of electronic health information (EHI).
Hospitals often identified other healthcare providers engaging in practices that may constitute information blocking.
