Episode 40 — 21st Century Cures: Interoperability and Data Sharing
Notas do episódio
The 21st Century Cures Act sought to promote innovation by improving interoperability and data sharing in healthcare. This episode explains how the Act prohibits “information blocking,” requiring health IT systems to enable secure, authorized data exchange. While designed to empower patients and providers, these provisions also raise privacy and security challenges.
We’ll review how regulators balance interoperability with confidentiality, and how the Act interacts with HIPAA and HITECH. Exam questions may test your understanding of this balance and the obligations it creates for healthcare organizations. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com
