The compliance time lines for some of their provisions may have been pushed back a bit as healthcare organizations contend with COVID-19, but the final interoperability rules published by CMS and ONC in March are still in effect. The pandemic has only highlighted their importance.

On Thursday, April 30, National Coordinator for Health IT Dr. Donald Rucker will speak with HIMSS CEO Hal Wolf about the various requirements of ONC's 21st Century Cures Act regulations.

Tune in at 11 a.m. CT to learn more about what will be expected of healthcare organizations as the interoperability and information-block rules take effect.

Rucker will discuss the various requirements and compliance dates for the regs, and show how the value of their API-enabled patient access goals – allowing easy aggregation of health data via smartphones – is highlighted by the ongoing coronavirus crisis.
