SUMMARY:Kill the Clipboard: What Does the CMS-Aligned Network Strategy Mean for the Future of Interoperability
DESCRIPTION:A webinar is being held connected to the White House and CMS announcement about new CMS strategies for interoperability and the Health Technology Ecosystem. This webinar is hosted by Leavitt Partners\, an HMA Company\, in partnership with Arcadia\, and will discuss the Kill the Clipboard policy roadmap and what they envision as a CMS-aligned network. \nThis webinar is designed for Chief Information Officers\, Chief Technology Officers and others who are working in digital policy and digital health transformation (watch for a follow up session for strategy and operational leaders). Presenters include Kill the Clipboard authors Ryan Howells and David Lee from Leavitt Partners\, an HMA Company\, along with Arcadia’s Aneesh Chopra\, formerly the US Chief Technology Officer. \nWhile the past decade has brought significant policy progress through the HITECH Act\, 21st Century Cures Act\, and CMS Interoperability Rules\, much of the implementation has stalled. The Kill the Clipboard roadmap calls for renewed urgency to eliminate administrative waste\, modernize data exchange\, and build trust-based partnerships grounded in open standards. The White House and CMS announcement\, coupled with the Health Technology Ecosystem initiative\, and broader federal AI action plan\, clearly indicates this administration is prioritizing working with the private sector to more aggressively implement open standards and tools to support data sharing and decision-making. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify how the CMS-aligned network strategy reflects the policy priorities outlined in the Kill the Clipboard roadmap\nDescribe the structural and policy changes needed to improve the way healthcare data is shared and governed and why the EHR is no longer sufficient\nAnalyze how TEFCA and other national networks are positioned to evolve in response to this federal strategy\nAssess the opportunities and risks for public and private sector collaboration in advancing interoperable\, standards-based data exchange

SUMMARY:New Restrictions on Providing Federal Public Benefits to Noncitizens: Immediate Impacts for Behavioral Health Providers
DESCRIPTION:New Restrictions on Providing Federal Public Benefits to Noncitizens: Immediate Impacts for Behavioral Health Providers \nAugust 20 at 3 p.m. ET\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn July\, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a notice reinterpreting “Federal public benefit” and including many behavioral health programs as meeting the new\, broader definition. \nPrograms funded under Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics\, Community Mental Health Services Block Grants\, and Substance Use Prevention\, Treatment and Recovery Services Block Grants\, including certain programs administered by SAMHSA\, are now subject to the reinterpretation. \n\nWhat does this change mean for your organization?\nWhat is the nonprofit exemption?\nWho can receive services?\nWhat other programs do you operate that now fall under the revised definition?\nWhat do you need to do differently now and in the future?\nHas anything changed since the notice was issued?\n\nJoin Feldesman attorneys\, including an immigration attorney\, next Wednesday\, August 20 at 3 p.m. ET\, for an industry update webinar to explain the change\, review developments and answer your questions.\n\n\n\n
