Can the 21st Century Cures Act block patient portal websites?

Do patient portals meet the ONC’s obligations to patients?

Therefore, patient portals—which permit patients to see a significant trove of information about themselves as soon as they log in to the sites—have become a key tool in meeting this obligation. But the ONC’s position leaves open many questions.

How do clinical notes differ from my after visit summary?

Clinical notes are medical documents used by physicians and care providers to communicate with each other. These documents include medical language and terminology, abbreviations, and treatment information that may sound technical and at times possibly unfamiliar.

Origins of The Portal Push

The Extent of Providers’ Obligations

  • In effect, the ONC is interpretating the 21st Century Cures Act to mean that patients have the right to obtain their data from health care providers as quickly as possible.
