Health Data, Technology, and Interoperability (HTI-1) Update: December2023 Understanding the Impact of Health IT
Today, we explore a key development in healthcare technology — the latest updates to Health Data, Technology, and Interoperability standards, also known as HTI-1, effective as of December 2023.
These updates are integral to the 21st Century Cures Act, a pivotal piece of legislation enacted in 2016 aimed at transforming our healthcare landscape. This act was designed to expedite the development of medical products and innovations, bringing them to the public more swiftly and effectively.
A primary goal of the 21st Century Cures Act is to enhance patient access to their own health records, promoting a healthcare system that centers on the patient’s needs. It also focuses on improving the interoperability of health information systems, which facilitates seamless communication between different health IT systems and applications, allowing for efficient sharing and exchange of information.
Furthermore, the act emphasizes the secure exchange and utilization of electronic health information, a vital aspect in our digital era. This ensures that sensitive health data is protected while remaining accessible for enhancements in healthcare services.
Lastly, the act fosters innovation within the healthcare technology sector, creating opportunities for new tools and systems that can revolutionize how healthcare is delivered.
