These dual considerations are especially important as the health care system transitions to new models of coordinated care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OIG has long supported the Department\u2019s goal of promoting the adoption of electronic health record (EHR) technology.&nbsp; To this end, our office created and then extended a safe harbor to the Federal anti-kickback statute for certain arrangements involving donations of EHR items and services to potential referral sources (the EHR safe harbor).&nbsp; Donations that fit squarely within all of the EHR safe harbor\u2019s conditions are not subject to sanctions under the Federal anti-kickback statute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Information blocking impedes the appropriate flow of information across the care continuum and can undermine the benefits offered by health IT.&nbsp; One of the conditions of the EHR safe harbor is relevant to issue of information blocking, and my office is taking the opportunity presented by National Health IT Week to remind stakeholders that information blocking may prevent them from using the EHR safe harbor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As described in more detail in the new OIG Alert, if a donor, or someone on the donor\u2019s behalf, takes any action to limit or restrict the use, compatibility, or interoperability of the donated items or services with other electronic prescribing or EHR systems, the donation arrangement would not receive safe harbor protection and would be suspect under the Federal anti-kickback statute.&nbsp; The new OIG Alert includes examples of this type of concerning conduct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We continue to support the goal of promoting adoption of EHR technology and recognize the potential benefits offered by health IT.&nbsp; At the same time, we remain committed to investigating potentially abusive donation arrangements that purport to meet the safe harbor conditions, but, in fact, do not.&nbsp; Such arrangements can undermine the benefits of health IT and present risks for the Department\u2019s programs and beneficiaries.&nbsp; We encourage anyone with information about an arrangement that may violate the Federal anti-kickback statute, including an EHR donation arrangement involving information blocking, to report it to our hotline by calling 1\u2013800\u2013HHS\u2013TIPS or by visiting <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.oig.hhs.gov\/hotlineoperations\/\">https:\/\/forms.oig.hhs.gov\/hotlineoperations\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>* Daniel R.
