it is very reasonable to have a no-recording policy. Clinic leadership should just tell frontline staff to say that. Blaming hipaa is trying to blame a law for a corporate policy, and my OP is coming from frustration over so much misinformation about hipaa

LLM: well, fine! just tell your database to accept FLEXTYPE it’s stupid if it doesn’t

That description looks like the proposed rule stage though, right? So maybe still referencing all the stuff that is now on the cutting room floor?

Shoulda been there 🤦🏻‍♂️

Got it, makes sense!

So no second final rule with the other stuff? Confused about the OMB link from the top of this thread then

It seems like it, bc the HTI-2 final rule was re-subtitled to just TEFCA: www.healthit.gov/topic/laws-r...

But I’m confused that I don’t see anything about this second final rule on healthit.gov

@healthapiguy.bsky.social - any idea what’s going on here?

Yeah, I do see this cited as a reason not to share (unfortunately).

How are they talking about segmenting part 2 data for facilities that have both part 2 and non part 2 data? It’s a burden on under-funded BH and SUD providers to segment - is anyone working on an open standard, clinically validated algorithm to tag part 2 data flowing to HIEs?

Does this ever get so good that APIs and standards become moot?

Thanks! Any signal from new admin on what they will do with this? Or are we just guessing from general regulatory signaling that they will repeal (is that the right term) via EO if finalized before inauguration? So curious if any of this (esp the public health portion) is likely to stick around
