Investing for The Future: ONC & CMS Proposed Rules on Interoperability

The Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) comment period is closed. With over a thousand organizations submitting comments, they have a lot to review and consider. Healthcare IT companies look ahead and ask questions such as “How can my organization prepare and should we invest time and resources?”

During this webinar the presenters reflect on critical elements in the NPRM and how these could impact payers, providers, and health IT vendors. They discuss the focus of the rule, which is data, interoperability in healthcare, and patient/member access; suggest steps organizations can take to invest in their data today; and discuss how the NPRM can help advance other CMS initiatives including value-based reimbursement (such as risk-based ACOs), Patients over Paperwork (meant to relieve clinician burden), and the My HealthEData Initiative (meant to engage and empower patients).
