Benchmark: HHS Proposed Rule on Health IT Deregulation: Certification, Standards, and Information Blocking Updates

Take this benchmark to assess how much you would benefit from taking the course on Health Data, Technology, and Interoperability—ASTP/ONC Deregulatory Actions to Unleash Prosperity (Proposed Rule).

This quick pre-course check helps you gauge your grasp of the rule’s intent, implications, and trade-offs—not trivia. You’ll see where you’re confident and where the course can accelerate your understanding.

• Clarify the “why.” Test your read on the purpose of deregulation: reducing burden while safeguarding interoperability and patient access.
• Anticipate impacts. Explore how shifts to FHIR APIs, streamlined certification, and tighter information blocking rules could change roadmaps, contracts, and workflows.
• Weigh trade-offs. Consider flexibility vs. assurance, competition vs. control, and automation vs. risk management.
• Check readiness. Spot where you may need deeper knowledge—API strategy, Insights reporting, TEFCA posture, or comment submission.

After this benchmark, you’ll know whether to prioritize this course to: sharpen strategy for FHIR-first interoperability, avoid missteps on information blocking (especially with automation), right-size testing and reporting, and engage effectively in the public comment process.

If many answers feel like educated guesses, you’ll likely gain substantial value from the course. If you’re already confident, use the course to validate assumptions, surface nuances, and prepare targeted action items.
