Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC’s) Cures Act Final Rule Webinar

March 2020 Webinar from ONC

Alyssa Carlisle 0 11379
HHS recently released the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC’s) Cures Act Final Rule that will help give patients safe, secure access to their health data, spur innovation, and address industry-wide information blocking practices. The final rule implements interoperability provisions of the bipartisan 21st Century Cures Act and promotes patient access to their health record. Putting patients in charge of their health records is a key piece of patient control in health care, and patient control is at the center of our work toward a value-based health care system.
