For more than a decade, Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) have worked on interoperability as a crucial element to improving patient care, reducing medical errors, and reducing avoidable procedures and unnecessary rework.

The Information Blocking Rule (IBR), a part of the 21st Century Cures Act, aims to prevent healthcare providers and other entities from hindering interoperability or the exchange of electronic health information (EHI). This rule prohibits actions that intentionally restrict or interfere with the access, exchange, or use of electronic health information, promoting a more interconnected healthcare ecosystem.

By fostering interoperability, IBR empowers patients and healthcare providers to access and share health information efficiently, leading to better-coordinated care and improved health outcomes.

Keep reading our most recent blog post to learn about IBR compliance, and the benefits of the Rule, including improved patient care through better access to their health information, reduced medical errors due to more complete and accurate data, and enhanced coordination among healthcare providers.

Bridging the Gap: Health Information Exchanges and Information Blocking Compliance Information blocking rule compliance is important. HIEs play an important role to help support the secure sharing, accessing of EHI.
