The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology’s (ONC) interoperability rule should weight the considerations of providers focused on advanced payment methods (APMs) and value-based care models, Clif Gaus, SD, president and CEO of NAACOS, wrote in a letter to ONC.
In early March, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) finalized the ONC interoperability rule, aiming to provide patients with more control of their health data and to eradicate information blocking.
Originally proposed in February 2019, the rule supports patients accessing and sharing their electronic health information, allowing them the ability to coordinate their own healthcare.
