Abstract:
The 21st Century Cures Act (Cures Act) aimed to advance the
exchange of electronic health information by promoting patient access
through standardized application programming interfaces (APIs). Digital
health companies develop apps and health IT tools that enable human
interaction with APIs to exchange electronic health information. Prior
studies indicate widespread adoption of standardized APIs for
interoperability with electronic health records (EHRs). Ongoing
assessment of these technologies is crucial to examining the impacts of
the Cures Act's health IT provisions and is critical to informing the
Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy/Office of the National
Coordinator for Health IT's (ASTP/ONC's) policy efforts. With ASTP/
ONC's support, the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF)
conducted a 2022 survey of digital health companies assessing
implementation of and experiences with healthcare APIs; findings from
this survey work are published in the Journal of the American Medical
Informatics Association. ASTP/ONC finds it essential to continue
efforts to survey digital health companies to assess ASTP/ONC's
implementation of statutorily mandated information blocking (42 U.S.C.
300jj-52) and APIs ``without special effort'' policies (42 U.S.C.
300jj-11) under the Cures Act. Information gathered from this effort
will help inform ongoing ASTP/ONC efforts to help nurture an ecosystem
of innovation and transparency in health care.
