Abstract
This final rule has finalized certain proposals from the Health Data, Technology, and Interoperability: Patient Engagement, Information Sharing, and Public Health Interoperability Proposed Rule (HTI-2 Proposed Rule) and in doing so supports the access, exchange, and use of electronic health information. Specifically, this final rule amends the information blocking regulations to revise two existing information blocking exceptions and establish an additional reasonable and necessary activity that does not constitute information blocking referred to as the Protecting Care Access Exception.
