or a regulatory exception applies.

And there's also a men's REA requirement that differs depending on an individual's or entity's actor status.

Additionally, and separate from the information blocking rule, there are also local, state, regional, and national initiatives to encourage health information exchange, such as the trusted exchange framework and common agreement or TEFCA or care equality before that.

Uh unfortunately

There has been little to no enforcement of the federal information blocking rule.

Or the contractual rules that underline these initiatives.

And that's where the litigation we're going to be talking about today becomes really important.

And these cases are not just isolated business disputes, they are truly pressure tests for the entire interoperability ecosystem.

They challenged PCC's restrictions on automated access to data to serve their mutual customers.

Now the district court granted RTMS a preliminary junction.

The Fourth Circuit firmed it.

And the reason RTMS matters is that these information blocking concepts help support state law claims, even though IBR itself doesn't have a private right of action.
