Benchmark: Health Data, Technology, and Interoperability: Protecting Care Access

Take this benchmark to assess how much you would benefit from taking the course on Health Data, Technology, and Interoperability: Protecting Care Access. In about 5–10 minutes, you’ll gauge your grasp of the rule’s intent, practical trade-offs, and operational impacts.

What you’ll get:
– A snapshot of how well you understand why the rule changed (protecting care access), what it requires (privacy and infeasibility updates), and how to apply it (policies, documentation, case-by-case calls).
– Signals of where your current approach may create risk—over- or under-sharing, weak documentation, inconsistent exception use, or gaps in segmentation capability.
– Perspective on equity and access implications—whether your practices could unintentionally create barriers or erode trust.
– A readiness check for implementation—policies, staff training, workflows, and vendor alignment.

Who should take it:
– Anyone involved in accessing, exchanging, or using electronic health information—clinical leaders, compliance, IT, operations, product, and data teams.

Use your results to focus your learning path in the course. If you find you’re unsure about when to use the Protecting Care Access Exception, how to honor patient requests not to share, or what to do when data can’t be segmented, this course will close those gaps and help you implement the rule confidently.
