Recently passed legislation called the 21st Century Cures Act includes provisions mandating that healthcare providers avoid “information blocking” and share electronic health information with patients in a specific and timely manner. These new rules took effect this month and may change how your onsite occupational or employee health clinic handles requests from employees for their health information. Are you ready?
During this webinar, a team of legal and occupational health experts shared important information about the potential impact of this new legislation on onsite employee health clinics. This information will guide occupational health professionals in discussions with their legal teams and development of new policies at their organizations for how to respond to requests from employees.
This compendium of the various statutes, regulations and guidance will help U.S. employers understand their role in providing and maintaining occupational health and other health-related records.
