Webinar Description
In this session, we will discuss the changing landscape of electronic health information sharing in the context of the 21st Century CURES Act (CURES Act) and information blocking. What should health centers do now that we’ve passed the April 5, 2021 compliance deadline? What should we do now when patients ask for their medical records? How can health centers prepare for open notes? Dr. Pan will discuss common scenarios and health center policy practices that might be considered information blocking and how they can reduce health center risks with early planning and policy definitions.
Learning Objectives
After participating in this session, attendees will be able to:
- Understand how the CURES act defines Information Blocking
- Describe how the ONC final rules define reasonable exceptions to information blocking
- Review common health center workflows, particularly information requests, and determine if they need to change in the context of the CURES Act and information blocking
