In Law360, Attorneys Examine Health Information Sharing Interoperability Proposed Rule Changes

In a Law360 article, health care partner Christine Moundas and associates Gideon Zvi Palte and Carolyn Lye analyzed proposed rule changes to health information sharing and interoperability requirements from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) within the  U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The proposed rule represents ONC’s continued efforts to advance interoperability, respond to stakeholder concerns, and adapt to regulatory and legal changes affecting health information exchange. The authors note that if finalized the new proposed health IT certification requirements, especially those focused on public health and payer use cases, could facilitate increased standardization of health information exchange nationwide.
