In December 2024, the Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy/Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (“ASTP/ONC”) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) published two final rules that establish health data interoperability and information blocking regulations (the “New HTI Final Rules”).
The New HTI Final Rules will affect Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (“TEFCA”) qualified health information networks (“QHINs”) and health care organizations that exchange data through QHINs, as well as developers of certified health information technology, health information exchanges and networks, and health care providers (collectively, “Actors”) that are subject to the Information Blocking Rule.
