Information Blocking: Deadline for Sharing All EHI is October 6th. October 6, 2022 AMA, Health Information Technology (HIT), News, Practice Management, RCMA, Resources, Riverside County Community ehi, infoblocking, informationblocking, informationblockingfaq, informationblockingrule, rcma 0 As of October 6th, the information blocking definition of EHI now includes all electronic protected health information in the designated record set. Most clinical information is digitized, accessible, and shareable thanks to several technology and policy advances making interoperable, electronic health record systems widely available. In 2016, the 21st Century Cures Act (Cures Act) made sharing electronic health information expected in health care by authorizing HHS to identify "reasonable and necessary activities that do not constitute information blocking." ONC's 2020 Cures Act Final Rule established information blocking exceptions to implement the law.
