My long overdue tweet-through of @ONC_HealthIT's #HTI1 rule begins.
Highlights: Certification has new requirements for decision support, patient demographics, and observation and electronic case reporting (eCR), + updates to USCDI. #HTI1
The TOC provides more highlights: 
1/ Ever wondered how the 4th industrial revolution (#AI, robotics, and big data) is reshaping healthcare? 🏥 🚀
Let's dive into some fascinating facts and insights I found in the #book "Deep Medicine" by @EricTopol

2/ 💻👨⚕️ Electronic Medical Records (EMR) are mostly designed for billing, not for physicians' ease of use, contributing to doctor burnout 😩
How can we leverage #AI to improve the EMR and serve both purposes effectively? #HealthIT

3/⏱️ Did you know? If physicians make a #diagnosis within 5 minutes, they have a 95% chance of getting it right (System 1 thinking). This rate can drop to 25% afterward!
How can we harness #AI to assist in faster, more accurate diagnosis?

I'm going to read and give you my stream of consciousness as I'm reading. I'll blog about it later.

MYTH: ONC’s rule to encourage the sharing of health information, which went into effect on April 5, 2021, is also called the “Open Notes” rule
FACT: ONC’s rule is called the “Cures Act Final Rule” 🧵⬇️
FACT: ONC’s rule is called the “Cures Act Final Rule” 🧵⬇️
The 21st Century Cures Act was an overwhelmingly bipartisan piece of legislation signed into law by President Obama in 2016. Information sharing is central to ONC’s Cures Act Final Rule and, as a result, some refer to the rule as the “information sharing rule”.
Some also (mistakenly) refer to the Cures Act Final Rule as the "Open Notes Rule” but this is inaccurate. Though ONC supports the concept of 'open notes' and the work being done by @myopennotes, the Cures Act Final Rule and ‘open notes’ are not synonymous.

1/ TELEHEALTH: THE IRRESISTIBLE FORCE MEETS THE IMMOVABLE OBJECT
The IRRESISTIBLE FORCE is patients' rapid uptake & high satisfaction with #telehealth & virtual care.
The IMMOVABLE OBJECT is healthcare incumbents' economic interests that align with the pre COVID-19 old normal.

Kudos to @SavageMeHealth @AaronNeinstein @j_r_a_m for a terrific piece calling for accountability measures for @ONC_HealthIT #Interoperability rules. healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/hbl… #healthIT @UCSF
@SavageMeHealth @AaronNeinstein @j_r_a_m @ONC_HealthIT @UCSF Importantly, they start by saying that we need to measure if 'Patients Can Access A Full, Structured, Longitudinal Set Of Electronic Health Information’; the rule is clear on this point… and we need to see that it is being achieved. @HugoOC @ePatientDave @TheLizArmy @BraveBosom
@SavageMeHealth @AaronNeinstein @j_r_a_m @ONC_HealthIT @UCSF @HugoOC @ePatientDave @TheLizArmy @BraveBosom They go on to recommend that we determine and be accountable for whether… 'Patients Can Contribute, Or “Write,” To Their Health Record’ Again something that should happen…but does it?
If we want to control this outbreak, we need to strengthen the connection between health care providers, labs and public health agencies
There are lots of problems, but some real low-hanging fruit too
We assembled an A+ team to find them and make a plan

2/ We had 2 principles:
*Focus on the next 30-90 days: Immediate needs call for immediate solutions.
*Use existing systems rather than building new systems: There's been more progress in #healthIT than people realize. Let's use it.
Building new systems in a pandemic won't work

As someone who works within #MedicalQuality, works to improve the care we provide our patients, and has a degree in #informatics and #HealthIT I am very familiar with national quality measures.

One of the most common forms of libel AVers through at anyone who disagrees with them is that we are simply doing it for the money, that we are #bought, or #Pharmawhores.
One of the examples they give as an example for this is a HEDIS Measure, CIS.

They purport that physicians are receiving bonuses for each vaccinated child, and that physicians also receive extra moneys for achieving a higher percentage of children who are vaccinated on time. They will often show a document from BC/BS which seems to support this.

"... highlights the possibility... clinicians & patients/families may further enhance the ability to effectively capture potential safety issues."

As #HealthIT transparency grows, orgs need ways to capture & respond to patient feedback about EHR errors.

What usually happens is a group of highly skilled, honest, hardworking Engineers or Management Graduates #Startups develop a product or service, test it and find it successfull but when they want to market is doctors don't buy
So
They start blaming doctors, directly or indirectly saying that this is a magic solution which will revolutionalise health and save 20 crores people per year, but this dull headed docs are not able to see the potential and / or afraid of technology

An interesting wrinkle of #CuresAct
Adhering to contractual requirements is *not* one of the 7 exceptions to information blocking.

Historically, when BAA terms or other contractual terms conflicted with rights possible under #HIPAA, BAA terms have been deemed to hold.
E.g., famously, even though a clearinghouse is a HIPAA CE & has all the rights and obligations of a CE...

In the following, mom is simply how I think about the phrase "Medicare Enrollee". It could be dad, uncle Fred, my buddy Glen et cetera. #PatientAccess is about the patient.
So, mom's MA organization has to provide APIs that allow her to use an app (after mom approves it) to access standardized claim data, adjudications, appeals, provider payments (remittances) and co-payments (cost-sharing) within one business day of claim processing. #PatientAccess
