The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), together with the assistant secretary for Technology Policy/Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ASTP/ONC), on May 16 published a new request for information (RFI) seeking stakeholder feedback to build off the existing health information technology policy framework “to drive large-scale adoption of health management and care navigation applications, reduce barriers to data access and exchange, realize the potential of recent innovations in healthcare that promote better health outcomes, and accelerate progress toward a patient centric learning health system.” The RFI is broken out into four sections to focus questions for specific constituencies: patients and caregivers; providers; technology vendors, data vendors, and networks; and value-based care organizations.
Comments are due June 16.
