Electronic prior authorization (ePA) is becoming an operational priority for EHRs. CMS expects real-world readiness ahead of 2027, making production workflows, FHIR APIs, and payer connectivity just as important as ONC certification. Learn why preparing now can reduce risk and accelerate implementation.

The last MIPS Promoting Interoperability reporting window is here. Learn about the 2026 PI updates, including Security Risk Analysis requirements, SAFER Guide attestation, the new TEFCA bonus measure, reporting deadlines, and common submission mistakes that can impact your score.

For EHRs, supporting MIPS is becoming more than enabling quality and PI measures. As MVP adoption grows, EHRs are expected to support MVP-only MIPS-CQMs (registry measures) and CMS submission. Explore the key MIPS and MVP reporting challenges facing EHRs and why they don’t have to do it alone.

CMS audits are not rare; they are expected. The MIPS Audit Readiness Checklist helps you stay organized and confident, with a clear list of 10 key items to document, track, and retain. Learn how MyMipsScore streamlines audit preparation and ensures your evidence remains secure and accessible.

A closer look at the MIPS 2026 updates that can affect measure selection, reporting workflows, support priorities, and MIPS readiness for EHRs and Provider Organizations alike.

HTI-5 continues ASTP/ONC’s shift from basic data exchange to reliable, explainable interoperability in real-world use. This blog explains what HTI-5 signals, why it matters now, and how EHRs can prepare for ongoing oversight without turning compliance into a constant scramble.

Learn why annual MIPS measure updates, maintaining ONC certification, and supporting submission workflows create more internal work than many EHR teams expect.

ONC’s expectations for certified health IT are shifting. In 2026, exchanging data is no longer enough. Systems must support traceable, explainable, and longitudinal data use under HTI-1 and USCDI v3. This blog explains what insight really means and why it matters now.

Learn what changes for EHRs when MVP support becomes part of their product and customer growth and retention strategy.

USCDI v3 is no longer a future problem. This blog explains what real readiness looks like for EHRs, why early alignment matters, and how planning now prevents rework, testing delays, and certification stress as 2026 approaches.

December is when MIPS reporting stress peaks. This blog explains where year-end workflows break down, why small errors cost points, and how MyMipsScore brings structure, clarity, and calm to reporting during the busiest time of the year.

Small MIPS mistakes often create the biggest losses. This guide explains where organizations slip in identifiers, measures, PI evidence, and group activities, and why December is the perfect time to fix issues. Learn how MyMipsScore keeps your score protected.

2025 finally delivered real interoperability. TEFCA QHINs are live, FHIR APIs are standardizing access, and CMS rules are pushing routine data exchange. This Thanksgiving, healthcare has real progress to appreciate. Learn how Darena Health helps providers and EHRs turn this progress into practical, everyday value.

Data access is no longer a box to check. With HHS enforcement rising and courts examining restrictive practices, patient centered data exchange is now essential for compliance and trust. This blog explains how timely, digital access supported by certified FHIR APIs gives organizations both protection and opportunity.

Passing ONC certification proves your EHR works once. Sustaining compliance proves it works every day. This blog explains how EHRs can stay compliant under HTI-1 through USCDI v3 readiness, Real-World Testing, and automated evidence tracking with Darena Health’s certified modules.

Darena Health’s MyMipsScore helps EHRs meet HTI-1 certification and MIPS requirements in one step. With certified (c)(1–4) capabilities, CMS-Qualified Registry reporting, and effortless API integration, you can stay compliant, reduce engineering workload, and add new revenue opportunities for your platform.

The Inferno Tool outage has left EHR developers stranded just as (g)(10) testing deadlines close in. With government systems down, certification projects are stuck in limbo. This Halloween, Darena Health offers a way to keep the lights on. Our pre-certified (b)(10) and (b)(11) modules help EHRs maintain momentum, meet HTI-1 requirements, and stay ready for USCDI v3 certification.

With the Cures Act deadlines around the corner, the focus has been on “how” to meet the requirements, and not “why”. Let’s not forget that each one of us will be a patient at some point in our lives. When we are the patient, we want Health IT to work for us. We need access to our health data for that and Cures Act makes it possible. This personal experience will make that evident.

Healthcare payers stand to benefit from increased interoperability.. We explore why proposed rule CMS-9115 could mean a lot for payers in 2020.

Let's take a look at the history, and future, of compliance and interoperability in healthcare, and what to expect out of patient focused semantic interoperability. Will 2020 finally be the year that healthcare changes put the patient first?
