Re: Physician Clinical Registry Coalition’s Comments in Response to 21st Century Cures Act: Establishment of Disincentives for Health Care Providers that Have Committed Information Blocking Proposed Rule (RIN 0955-AA05)
Dear Administrator Brooks-LaSure and National Coordinator Tripathi:
The undersigned members of the Physician Clinical Registry Coalition (“the Coalition”) appreciate the opportunity to comment on the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology’s (“ONC’s”) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (“CMS’s”) proposed rule to enforce the information blocking provisions of the 21st Century Cures Act (the “Cures Act”) (the “Proposed Rule”).1 The Coalition is a group of medical society-sponsored clinical data registries that collect and analyze clinical outcomes data to identify best practices and improve patient care. We are committed to advocating for policies that encourage and enable the development of clinical data registries and enhance their ability to improve quality of care through the analysis and reporting of clinical outcomes.2
