The Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy/Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recently released guidance expressing concerns about barriers to legally permissible access, exchange and use of electronic health information.

In a Law360 article, health care partner Christine Moundas, co-head of the firm’s digital health initiative, and health care associates Gideon Zvi Palte and Carolyn Lye, explain that healthcare organizations — particularly developers of federally certified health IT, health information exchanges and networks, and healthcare providers — should regard this guidance as a signal that enforcement in this area is likely forthcoming and a reminder to review their operations for compliance with applicable information sharing and interoperability requirements.
