Description: With the transition of patient health care records from paper to electronic nearly complete, both patients and providers are one step closer to having meaningful access to and the ability to share patient health information when it could most positively impact patient treatment and care. However, limitations on the interoperability of EHRs and the frequency of data blocking have been significant impediments to access and data sharing. In February 2019, HHS proposed new rules issued by CMS and ONC to end data blocking and promote the sharing of patient information. This session will review the ONC's proposed rules, review the seven activities which are deemed NOT to be information blocking by the ONC, and provide some practical recommendations for providers to ensure that their practice polices and procedures do not unnecessary block access to or the sharing of patient data.
