Event Description
Health Data, Technology, and Interoperability (HTI-1) Update: December 2023 Understanding the Impact of Health IT
In this session, we will explore a key aspect of healthcare technology—the recent updates to Health Data, Technology, and Interoperability standards, known as HTI-1, which took effect in December 2023.
These updates are part of the ongoing implementation of the 21st Century Cures Act, transformative legislation passed in 2016 aimed at revolutionizing our healthcare infrastructure.
The 21st Century Cures Act was a significant move towards modernizing healthcare, crafted to speed up the development and dissemination of medical innovations to enhance healthcare delivery effectively and efficiently.
A central aim of the Act is to better patient access to their personal health data, promoting a healthcare system that is more patient-centric.
Additionally, the Act prioritizes the interoperability of health information systems. This involves enabling various health IT systems and software applications to integrate seamlessly, facilitating the easy sharing, use, and exchange of information.
Secure exchange and use of electronic health information is another essential area of focus under the Act. In our increasingly digital landscape, it is vital to protect sensitive health data while ensuring it remains accessible for ongoing improvements in healthcare services.
Lastly, the Act encourages innovation within the healthcare technology field, paving the way for novel tools and systems that can fundamentally transform healthcare delivery.
Join us as we delve into these updates and discuss their implications for the future of healthcare technology.
