- CAP wants info-blocking rules to be scrapped
As the Trump administration seeks to cut regulations, the CAP suggests removing information-blocking rules that may inadvertently harm patients.
The CAP submitted comments to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in response to ongoing deregulation efforts.
Why it matters: The initiative aims to identify and potentially rescind federal regulations that may be deemed unlawful or burdensome, significantly impacting health care policies and practices.
What they're saying: The CAP submitted the following regulations for consideration:
- The HHS Office for Civil Rights Nondiscrimination Rule and the ONC Cures Act Final Rule on Information Blocking
- The CAP opposes the absence of a blanket exception to allow for the delay of the release of laboratory test results to patients.
- The ONC Cures Act Final Rule on Information Blocking
- The CAP opposes the Information Blocking provision that requires the immediate release of lab test results, arguing it undermines effective care coordination.
What's next: The CAP will continue to monitor developments and provide updates as they unfold.
