Interoperability and information-blocking guidelines set out by the Office of the National Coordinator went into effect earlier this month on April 5. Despite news coverage of these regulations, many in healthcare, including imaging facilities, were not prepared and are still not in compliance. Diagnostic Imaging spoke with Matthew Michela, chief executive officer of Life Image, about the reasons behind this lag in compliance, what it means for the industry, and what providers can do to fall in line with the regulations. Look for our podcast with him later this week.
