INFORMATION BLOCKING RULE COMPLIANCE DATE MOVED TO APRIL 2021

ONC says the delay is intended to allow providers to focus on the pandemic. It also gives you a chance to prepare for what’s coming. The agency in charge of the rule now says that compliance must begin on April 5, 2021. The previous startup date was Nov. 2 this year. The initial final rule, announced in March, is aimed at removing undue obstacles and delays in the access of patient electronic health information, or EHI.
