Healthcare stakeholders are mostly optimistic about HTI-2

The Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT’s proposed HTI-2 interoperability rule aims to improve health information exchange. While many healthcare leaders see the rule as a step forward, they also note areas for improvement such as documentation requirements and data sharing. Critics argue that the rule doesn’t fully address the need for modern digital healthcare solutions. The rule is under criticism for its compliance timeline, with particular concern over its alignment with the interoperability rule of the U.S Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
