Going Beyond Compliance to Achieve Radical Interoperability

Share:

September 4, 2019

Pulse survey on CMS and ONC proposed rules

Proposed rules from the US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), published earlier this year, are likely to drive the US health care system toward greater interoperability. We expect the administration to finalize the rules in fall 2019, and many of the provisions would go into effect on January 1, 2020 (see the February 11, 2019 Reg Pulse Blog). Through other levers such as new payment models, the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA), and a recent executive order on transparency, the administration is laying out a plan to drive the industry toward widespread interoperability. Taken together, these initiatives showcase the administration’s continued push to make health care information more accessible by encouraging plans and providers to share data with each other to improve the quality and efficiency of health care and with patients to help them make informed decisions.

As described in Forces of change: The future of health, today, the US health care system is a collection of disconnected components (health plans, hospital systems, pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers, etc.). By 2040, we expect the system to be dramatically different than it is today. Health will likely be driven by digital transformation enabled by radically interoperable data and open, secure platforms. Moreover, consumers will own their health data and play a central role in making decisions about their health and well-being. Health care organizations that fail to see beyond compliance deadlines and realize the greater strategic value of interoperability and data could risk falling behind.

From early May to mid-June 2019, the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions polled technology leaders at large health plans (n=35) and health systems (n=35) to gauge their attitudes and priorities around the CMS and ONC proposed rules (see sidebar, “Methodology”).
