Almost two years ago, the 21st Century Cures Act (Cures Act) was signed into law. The intent of the Cures Act was to promote and fund the acceleration of research into preventing and curing serious illnesses, advance drug and medical device development, bring focus to the opioid epidemic and improve mental health service delivery. There are a number of provisions that push for greater interoperability, support for human services programs and the adoption of electronic health records (EHRs).
The Cures Act impacts nearly every aspect of healthcare, so we’re diving into the goals and intent to help you understand how your organization could be impacted and how to prepare. Today, we’ll tackle interoperability, which will be required to accomplish all of the goals of the Cures Act. Interoperability “describes the extent to which systems and devices can exchange data and interpret that shared data.” But to really be successful and achieve the desired outcomes, we need to go beyond basic interoperability and completely integrate individual clinical workflows.
Here are some examples of how we can influence change through interoperability.
Check out Part 2 of our series next week when we explore adoption of EHR systems in relation to the 21st Century Cures Act.
