Greetings, Lauren! While this isn't a 'course' (and for anyone who might have missed the announcement), Google Cloud launched its new Healthcare Interoperability Readiness Program yesterday (Nov 30th) to help providers and health systems manage compliance with the 21st Century Cures Act and its interoperability mandates. Google Cloud's Healthcare Interoperability Readiness Program – offered in collaboration with an array of consultants and consulting groups – is designed to offer healthcare organizations assistance as they prepare for Cures Act compliance. The program focuses on the following (from their blog post, below):
- Understanding their current interoperability maturity levels;
- Mapping out a stepwise journey to enable interoperability; and
- Navigating changes and increase their readiness for the new Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) rules.

| The 21st Century Cures Act, a United States law enacted at the end of 2016, mandates patient data interoperability for payers, providers, and healthcare organizations. As we approach rolling implementation deadlines, healthcare organizations are wrestling with how to liberate data from siloed systems-not only to give patients more granular control of their data, but also to improve outcomes by giving doctors a more complete view into their patients' conditions. |

Of course, the ONC also has most of their presentations about the 21st Century Cures Act and other webinars available on their YouTube channel, which is great for reference:

I have created a couple of presentations with Cures Act slides. I have not yet completed a training course, but I will by the end of December, if not earlier. I'm happy to share what I have now. I have also created a Info Blocking and Interoperability assessment, Infor Blocking Incident application, Info Blocking Patient request app and am working on an overarching Info Blocking/Interoperability policy.
Contact me via kmclendon@complianceprosolutions and I'll send slide deck and voice over MP4 link. to anyone who asks. If you wish to see more let me know and we'll arrange it. I also have copies of ONC slides which I can share too. My slides are not yet good enough for annual type workforce training, but they are getting close. Right now they are targeted at HIM/Compliance/Privacy Officers and staff.
