2) Advocate for Data Freedom

The Problem:

Right now, hospitals, clinics, and healthcare providers face excessive fees, vendor lock-in, and data ransom practices that restrict access to their own patient records.

The Solution:

Legislation is needed to end vendor-controlled data ransom and ensure that healthcare organizations can freely access and migrate patient records. A Health Data Access and Portability Act can:

• Prohibit data ransom practices that lock hospitals out of their own records.

• Regulate fees for accessing legacy EHR data, preventing excessive costs.

• Mandate structured, exportable formats to ensure seamless data portability.

• Establish financial support for hospitals impacted by vendor bankruptcy, ensuring compliance with data retention laws.
