Executive Summary

Succeeding in the complex business of healthcare requires embracing healthcare delivery transformation. The process describes the industry's response to the disruptive effects of the transition from fee-for-service healthcare to a new pay-for-value model. 

What's out and what's in table for healthcare data sharing. Discussed under the heading "Healthcare Data-Sharing Requirements" in the 21st Century Cures Act whitepaper.

The litany of new initiatives driving healthcare transformation offer a variety of payment models. All require sharing of clinical data across the care continuum, including to patients and their care teams. 

Health data exchange is no longer optional:

  • 21st Century Cures Act requires the sharing of clinical data across the care continuum
  • Data sharing is a critical component of a successful business plan
  • How sharing options achieve healthcare transformation objectives is a pre-requisite to defining an effective strategy

While many data exchange techniques are available in the market, this paper focuses on a few of the most common approaches that are readily available, economical to implement and are supported by HHS/CMS/ONC via incentive payment programs. These include secure emailemail encryption, Direct Secure Messaging and open APIs.
