Show Notes

Aug 1, 2022: Mari Savickis, Vice President, Public Policy at CHIME joins Bill for the news. What’s happening on the Hill? The October 6 interoperability deadline is looming. Information blocking. 21st Century Cures. Where are we at? What is CHIME doing to help prepare its members for this deadline? How much of this is falling on the EHR providers and how much is falling on the systems themselves? Navigating the compliance landscape is challenging. Even for larger health systems who are more well equipped. And what about the problem of the haves and the have nots? Does big tech have too much access to healthcare data?
