Download as PDF 58284 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 201 / Thursday, October 21, 2021 / Notices If the goal in this case were to maximize money paid by the Respondents as punishment and to deter others from engaging in similar conduct, the Commission was free to enforce the original Nectar Order and seek civil penalties. That was the road not taken. In choosing this road, with a new and broader order, the Commission is obligated to limit monetary relief to the amount necessary to redress injury, as explicitly authorized by Section 19. Because this settlement exceeds those clearly delineated bounds, we must respectfully dissent.

The 21st Century Cures Act (Cures Act) requires HHS and ONC to improve the interoperability of health information. ONC’s Cures Act final rule identifies important data elements that should be made electronically available and exchanged through the use of health information technology (IT). In support of these efforts, ONC seeks to better understand patients’ and health care providers’ knowledge of SDOH, how SDOH data are currently documented in the electronic health record and how this information is used in patient care. Additionally, ONC seeks to understand challenges experienced and preferences for SDOH data collection, sharing and utilization from both the provider and patient perspectives. A series of 20 focus groups, a mix of asynchronous (discussion board) and synchronous (live), will be conducted among groups of healthcare professionals (10 groups) and patients/ care partners (10 groups), representing various backgrounds, demographics, and healthcare professions, to learn more about their experiences and thoughts relating to the capture and utilization of SDOH data.
