The Cures Act aimed to build on the progress of the HITECH Act of 2009, but by focusing on improving interoperability, patient access to their health records, and reducing provider burden.

The 21st Century Cures Act was a landmark law and included important provisions to strengthen mental and substance use disorder care for women, children and adolescents.

The 9-1-1 system was clearly overwhelmed--and was not nearly robust or resilient enough to tackle the volume of calls.
