PARCA eNews – Jan. 5, 2021 – With the compliance dates approaching for the 21st Century Cures Act: Information Blocking, Interoperability, and the ONC Health IT Certification Program Final Rule ONC has created additional resources to assist the health IT developer community including a consolidated view of key dates, criterion-by criterion resource for the 2015 Edition Cures Update, and a comprehensive explanation of requirements for certified application programming interface (API) requirements.
The resources are available on the Cures Act Final Rule website.
