Enforcement and Penalties, Guardrails and Risks: Understanding the 21st Century Cures Act

Although the 21st Century Cures Act was enacted in 2016, many hospitals today continue to struggle with effective implementation of its provisions and the goal of preserving patient access to medical records.

Seven years later, however, meaningful guidance regarding its enforcement is here. One of the provisions requires developers not to engage in information blocking.

Now that the guardrails are in place and the risks have been identified, Monitor Monday’s own physician and attorney Dr. John K. Hall will review the related enforcement actions and the penalties during the next live edition of the long-running Internet broadcast.

Broadcast segments will also include these instantly recognizable features:

• Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, vice president of R1 RCM, will make his Monday rounds.
  
  
• The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullen, will report the latest news about auditors.
  
  
• Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.
  
  
• Legislative Update: Cate Brantley, a legislative analyst for Zelis, will report on current healthcare legislation.
