Obviously bureaucrats and politicians are not system designers or data architects. Politics is compromise = less than optimal solutions are the goal as long as the majority is happy. Always bad for system designers.
Yet the government expects a system to operate with little or no failure built on a foundation of sand. But there is a compromise solution that will please almost everybody, an opt-in/out identifier. Just like TSA. HIMSS and CHIME should be pushing that solution.

Still can’t believe that our government makes such a big deal about “Information blocking” while insinuating that EHR vendors are to blame, when in fact their own policies play a huge role in limiting sharing patient data.
