Micky here with a🧵direct from the @ONC_HealthIT handle....
Thanks @HITpolicywonk for starting the discussion! And thank you to everyone who subsequently weighed in. I explained our thinking on a recent public RCE call, but I recognize not everyone could attend. Glad to take the opportunity now.

MYTH: ONC’s rule to encourage the sharing of health information, which went into effect on April 5, 2021, is also called the “Open Notes” rule
FACT: ONC’s rule is called the “Cures Act Final Rule” 🧵⬇️
The 21st Century Cures Act was an overwhelmingly bipartisan piece of legislation signed into law by President Obama in 2016. Information sharing is central to ONC’s Cures Act Final Rule and, as a result, some refer to the rule as the “information sharing rule”.
