A new proposed rule from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) aims to further the 21st Century Cures Act by improving the use of electronic health information and advancing interoperability amid increased priorities around data privacy and cybersecurity. Released in April, the ‘Health Data, Technology, and Interoperability: Certification Program Updates, Algorithm Transparency, and Information Sharing (HTI-1) Proposed Rule’ is currently under a 60-day comment period. ONC aims to update the minimum sharable dataset, health IT certification program, information-blocking regulations and the adoption of the U.S. Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI).
