Among other new standards, HTI-1 establishes transparency requirements for predictive algorithms that are part of certified health IT
The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) has finalized a rule that touches on patient access, interoperability, and algorithm transparency.
The rule, “Health Data, Technology, and Interoperability: Certification Program Updates, Algorithm Transparency, and Information Sharing” is called HTI-1 for short. Here are some of the highlights:
• Algorithm Transparency: Establishes transparency requirements for the artificial intelligence (AI) and other predictive algorithms that are part of certified health IT. The regulatory approach is designed to make it possible for clinical users to access a consistent, baseline set of information about the algorithms they use to support their decision-making...
