A little about what we do…

What is the NBB4C? We Make It Easier to Share Health Information With Consumers So That They Can Do What They Want With It

NATE Blue Button for Consumers (NBB4C) Consumer Controlled App Members

Jumping the Chasm from Provider-Centric Exchange to Consumer-Centric Exchange  CEs must comply with HIPAA  CEs constrained to permitted purposes of use  CEs spend 95% of their time working with health data  …  Direct functionality  CFAs must comply with FTC regulation  Consumers can do anything they want with their data  Consumers spend less than 5% of their time with health data  …  Direct functionality Wouldn’t It Be Convenient If There Were A Way To Address This?

Individuals’ Right under HIPAA to Access their Health Information 45 CFR § NEW GUIDANCE FROM THE HHS OFFICE OF CIVIL RIGHTS… 1.A provider who has Direct (all MU2 CEHRT has Direct) is expected to be able to send messages to a consumer who has a Direct address, at the consumer’s request NATE’s bundle makes it easier to do this. Providers only need to request that their HISP enable this capability by subscribing to the NATE NBB4C. Subscribing to the NBB4C is free to providers and includes only consumer controlled apps offering Direct based exchange to consumers 2.A provider who fails to respond to a consumer’s request to have their PHI sent by Direct secure messaging is in violation of the HIPAA Privacy Rule Essentially, they are perceived as engaged in information blocking 3.A provider using Direct at the consumer’s request has no more liability when he exchanges with a consumer than when he uses Direct to exchange with another provider If there is a breach on their side of the transaction, they are culpable, but once it is delivered to the consumer’s side they can no longer be held accountable in the event of a breach

New for 2016

TrustHarbor Working in collaboration with the FHIR Foundation and other stakeholders, NATE will begin work on this emerging mode of consumer mediated exchange later this year.
