What 45 CFR Part 171 - ONC Information Blocking and Exceptions requires
45 CFR Part 171 implements the information blocking provisions of the 21st Century Cures Act administered by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology. An actor (a health care provider, health IT developer of certified health IT, health information network or health information exchange) must not engage in information blocking, defined as a practice that is likely to interfere with the access, exchange or use of electronic health information except as required by law or covered by an exception. The regulations establish exceptions that, if met, mean a practice will not be treated as information blocking: exceptions for not fulfilling requests (preventing harm, privacy, security, infeasibility, health IT performance and protecting care access) and exceptions for the manner of fulfilling requests (the content and manner, fees and licensing exceptions). An actor must meet all conditions of an applicable exception, and unjustified interference may give rise to penalties or disincentives.
