HHS is asking for public comments on the potential regulation of diagnostic imaging technology to improve interoperability.
The input will help the agency “explore the best and least burdensome ways to support the access, exchange, and use of electronic health information, including diagnostic images, through the adoption of standards and the certification of health IT,” according to a Feb. 5 Small Business Administration news release.
HHS released the request for information Jan. 30 and will accept comments through March 16. The feedback could shape future rulemaking.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
