Information Blocking

Making patient information accessible

 

As a condition of the 21st Century Cures Act, the ONC and CMS have published rules defining and enforcing health data sharing. The first provisions addressing information blocking will go into effect in November 2020, and healthcare organizations must comply to meet quality reporting requirements. Nordic’s holistic methodology will help drive the cultural change necessary for your organization to meet these new guidelines.

We partner with you to:

  • Ensure compliance
  • Avoid penalties
  • Increase patient satisfaction
  • Achieve rapid API integrations

Your dedicated team

Nordic assembled a team dedicated to Information Blocking and the 21st Century Cures Act. We've investigated the rule, performed industry research, and talked with other healthcare leaders to craft a methodology to guide your organization. 

Our methodology

While the Information Blocking rule relates to technology, the implications are also operational. To prepare for this rule, you'll need to reach organizational consensus, update processes and policies, and manage your stakeholders. Our team brings both technology and operational experience, focusing on transformation efforts across the care continuum and technical interoperability. Our HIM, patient engagement, and physician experts will use our proven methodology to advise you.
