In response to ONC's request for comments on the nationwide health information exchange, The College of Healthcare Information Management Executives shared its belief that NwHIN governance is "being unduly rushed" (pdf).
CHIME also urges ONC to consider additional mechanisms for facilitating a dialogue regarding national health information exchange before issuing a notice of proposed rulemaking for NwHIN governance. In addition, the comments call for ONC to spend more time identifying best practices among existing HIEs. Finally, CHIME is uncomfortable with how NwHIN governance-related conditions for trusted exchange could impose requirements beyond what is required under HIPAA privacy and security rules.
