ASTP/ONC HTI-5 proposed rule: Implications for Cancer Registry Reporting

Overview
Speaker(s)

The Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy (ASTP/ONC) made an update to existing Health Data, Technology, and Interoperability: Patient Engagement, Information Sharing, and Public Health Interoperability (HTI-2) rule and is proposing the new Health Data, Technology, and Interoperability: Deregulatory Actions to Unleash Prosperity (HTI-5) rule that would impact CDA reporting of cancer to central cancer registries.

We invite your participation in NAACCR’s review and comment process. During this webinar, we will share our current interpretation of the rules, provide a draft comment and an opportunity for questions and discussion. We strongly encourage members to attend and participate.

The public comment period for HTI-5 is open until February 27 at 11:59 p.m. ET. Following the webinar, members are invited to submit suggestions or feedback on NAACCR’s draft comment by close of business on Friday, February 20.
