As the new year begins, we like to reflect on where health information technology (IT) has been and where it is going. We are not fond of rehashing the minutia regarding every event that occurred in the health IT domain, so we will not spend our time and space presenting an exhaustive review. We will, however, touch on the continuing efforts surrounding electronic health records (EHRs). We will also focus forward in discussing an emerging area that we are closely following.

Abstract While federal regulation provides patients the right to access their electronic health records and promotes increased use of health information technology, patient access to electronic health records remains limited. The 21st Century Cures Act, signed into law over a year ago, has important provisions that could significantly improve access and availability of health data. Specifically, the provisions call for partnerships among health information exchange networks, educational and research initiatives, and health information technology certification requirements that encourage interoperability. The article reviews the potential benefits and concerns regarding implementation of these provisions, particularly the difficulty of aligning incentives and requirements for data sharing and the question of whether currently proposed rules and guidance will support the goal of improved patient access and health information exchange. Researchers, clinicians, and patients have the power to advocate for improved patient access and interoperability as policy development and implementation of the 21st Century Cures Act continues.
