HTI-5 Proposed Rule

The Minnesota e-Health Initiative will submit a coordinated response to the Health Data, Technology, and Interoperability: ASTP/ONC Deregulatory Actions to Unleash Prosperity (HTI-5) Proposed Rule | FederalRegister.gov public comment period.

According to ASTP/ONC’s HTI-5 Proposed Rule fact sheet, the HTI-5 Proposed Rule takes deregulatory action to “(1) reduce burden on health IT developers by streamlining the ONC Health IT Certification Program (Certification Program) by removing redundant requirements; (2) update the information blocking regulations to better promote electronic health information access, exchange, and use so that patients’ access to their data is not blocked; and (3) advance a new foundation of AI-enabled interoperability solutions through modernized standards and certification.”

Written comments are due by Friday, February 13 at 5:00pm. Submit comments using the HTI-5 Proposed Rule Coordinated Response Form. Note: Not all questions in the form need to be answered.

Minnesota stakeholders are encouraged to review the proposed rule and share their comments and perspectives with the Initiative. ASTP/ONC has provided a fact sheet, chart, and recorded information session on the webpage for the proposed rule: Health Data, Technology, and Interoperability: ASTP/ONC Deregulatory Actions to Unleash Prosperity (HTI-5) Proposed Rule | HealthIT.gov.
