Inside Health Policy reported on HHS’ proposed HTI-2 Rule designed to facilitate health data sharing. HIA was one of the organizations that submitted comments on the rule.
The Health Innovation Alliance, meanwhile, raised concerns about updating USCDI requirements for the Health IT Certification Program going forward. HIA said that USCDI updates are coming out quickly and pose significant costs for technology vendors and users. “We must make sure that such updates are actually necessary and productive rather than just a good idea,” the trade association wrote.
