ONC released its interoperability roadmap in October 2015, with a strategic framework laid out for three time bands: 2015-17, 2018-20 and 2021-24.
“The Roadmap helped lay the groundwork and set the direction for policy development on information blocking, reducing provider burden, and nationwide, electronic health information exchange – to name a few,” Deputy National Coordinator for Health IT Steve Posnack wrote in the agency’s May 4 blog post.
ONC said it will instead focus on advancing health IT interoperability through the 21st Century Cures Act and its interoperability rules, which went into place in April; the 2020-25 Federal Health IT Strategic Plan; and insights from the Health IT Advisory Committee.
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.
