The interoperability provisions of the 21st Century Cures Act were discussed at a Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions hearing on Tuesday. Senators praised the proposed rules as beneficial to patients and clinicians, but expressed concerns about moving too quickly, inflexible data management standards, and the potential for information blocking.
