In this video from WEDI (Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange), Alexandra Mugge, the Chief Health Informatics Officer and Director at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, presents an in-depth walkthrough of the recently finalized CMS Interoperability and Prior Authorization Final Rule (CMS-0057). This final rule emphasizes the need to improve health information exchange to achieve appropriate and necessary access to health records for patients, healthcare providers, and payers. This final rule also focuses on efforts to improve prior authorization processes through policies and technology, to help ensure that patients remain at the center of their own care.
