Abstract
Starting April 5, physicians must be ready to electronically share with patients more of the information generated during office visits. This change comes thanks to "information blocking" rules that are part of the 21st Century Cures Act, passed by Congress in 2016 and put into regulation in 2020 by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of the National Coordinator (ONC).
