Access Matters

Healthcare IT regulation continues to evolve—and 2025 marked a pivotal year for interoperability, patient access, and compliance. In this episode, our host is joined by Andrew Tomlinson, Senior Director of Regulatory and International Affairs at AHIMA, for a deep dive into the most significant healthcare IT regulatory changes of 2025 and what healthcare leaders should expect in 2026 and beyond.  Together, they explore how recent regulations have impacted data interoperability, EHR systems, and patient data access, along with a forward-looking discussion on the CMS Health Technology Ecosystem Interoperability Framework and emerging API requirements. Andrew also shares insights on upcoming privacy and security rules, potential implications for EHR vendors and health systems, and where regulators are placing increased focus on patient data rights.  The conversation goes beyond policy to examine the strategic and operational impacts for healthcare organizations—covering IT roadmaps, data governance, standardization, health information exchange (HIE) strategies, and growing expectations around cybersecurity and risk management. Listeners will also gain perspective on how these regulations may affect clinical workflows, the patient experience, and cost considerations for both small practices and large health systems.  Finally, Andrew highlights AHIMA's role in supporting health information management professionals and healthcare IT leaders, offering practical advice for CIOs, CTOs, and HIM teams preparing for future regulatory requirements.  Whether you're navigating health IT compliance, planning technology investments, or preparing your organization for the next wave of healthcare regulations in 2026, this episode delivers timely insights to help you stay ahead.   Guest Links:  Andrew's LinkedIn:   Andrew's Email: [email protected]  AHIMA general Email: [email protected]  AHIMA website: AHIMA.org  AHIMA HI-Five Policy Podcast on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify  Connect with us!  [email protected]  www.accesscorp.com  Access social channels:  Facebook: @AccessToday  X: @AccessToday  IG: @AccessToday  LI: @access-information-management  #HealthcareIT #HealthITRegulation #Interoperability #HealthcareCompliance #DigitalHealth #CMS #HealthPolicy #HealthcareRegulations #PatientAccess #DataPrivacy #EHR #APIs #HealthData  #DataGovernance  #Cybersecurity
