In this episode of 4x4 Health, we talk with Steven Posnak, the Executive Director of the Office of Technology within the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC).  This role places Steve at the intersection of regulation and innovative technology in Health IT, as he leads both the ONC Health IT Certification Program and directs the ONC Tech Lab.  In this episode, Steve discusses the new ONC proposed rules on interoperability (here are links to the rules themselves and where can post your comment directly), rapid technological innovations coming to Health IT, and how ONC is helping healthcare interoperability finally ‘catch up’ with the rest of the digital economy.  To learn more about the ONC proposed rules in relation to information blocking, listen to this 4x4 Health episode with fellow ONC leader Mike Lipinski, and, to hear from the National Coordinator himself, check out Dr. Rucker’s 2019 Predictions episode from earlier this year.
