In a Westlaw Today article, health care partner Christine Moundas and health care associates Gideon Zvi Palte and Carolyn Lye analyzed two final rules that the Department of Health and Human Services published in December 2024 to revise health data interoperability and information blocking regulations.

The authors note that the final rules introduce meaningful regulations that will increase transparency in the administration of the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement and provide protection under the Information Blocking Rule for certain activities undertaken to protect against litigation risk arising from reproductive health care. However, other impactful changes in an August 2024 proposed rule were not finalized.
