EHR Intelligence October 3, 2022
The information blocking regulation’s definition of EHI will extend from data in the USCDI version 1 to all EHI on October 6th, per the ONC Cures Act.
The 21st Century Cures Act Final Rule information blocking provisions require healthcare stakeholders to share all electronic health information (EHI) beginning on October 6th, 2022, according to a HealthITBuzz blog post.
When the Cures Act Final Rule was published, ONC limited the scope of EHI to the United States Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) version 1. On October 6th, stakeholders must exchange all EHI, including unstructured data.
Steven Posnack, deputy national coordinator for health IT, noted that information blocking (IB) actors’ practices include acts and omissions.
