The Information-Blocking Crackdown Has Arrived
The information blocking crackdown is no longer a warning. HHS, ASTP/ONC, and OIG have shifted from guidance to active enforcement. Developers, HIEs, and HINs face fines of up to $1 million per violation, while CMS introduces provider disincentives. With patient complaints rising and cases made public, EHR vendors must prove compliance with FHIR-based information sharing to avoid penalties and reputational damage.

Patient Connect makes it easier to collect and use patient data for clinical trials, research, and registries. Instead of slow, manual record gathering, patients can securely share their health data from multiple EHRs in minutes. With FHIR standards, ONC compliance, and built-in consent workflows, you get accurate, standardized datasets faster supporting enrollment, analysis, and better outcomes.
