Leadership Buy-In Resources Overview

This section of the website provides resources intended to help spur leadership action on to new or improved quality efforts. The tools are intended to be used by leaders, but also by other Health Center staff who are determined to solicit the help of leaders on quality work.

Embarking on, or making significant advancements to quality work requires strong Health Center leadership.  Leaders help define how decisions will be made, provide the resources necessary to analyze data and processes, and develop or guide strategic planning efforts that integrate all the functions of a Health Center.  At the highest level of function, quality is driven by organizational culture, rather than strategy.  Here too, leaders play important roles in helping to define and spread culture change throughout an organization.

Advancing Interoperability Learning Collaborative Session 1: Don’t Block the CURES

Advancing Interoperability Learning Collaborative Session 1: Don’t Block the CURES

HITEQ Advancing Interoperability Learning Collaborative Series

In this session, we will discuss the 21st Century CURES act (CURES act) specifically focused on how it defined interoperability and information blocking and how that relates to health centers. With HHS recently extending the provider compliance date to April 5, 2021, the group will review how ONC’s final rules defined information blocking requirements and exceptions. The group will discuss common scenarios and health center policy practices that might be considered information blocking, and how they can reduce health center risks with early planning and policy definitions.

Learning Objectives: After participating in this session, attendees will be able to:
- Understand how the CURES act defines Interoperability and Information Blocking
- Describe how the ONC final rules define reasonable exceptions to information blocking
- Review and update health center policies in key areas related to information blocking
