The Department of Health and Human Services' Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology today released a proposed rule that would update certification requirements for health information technology developers under its Health IT Certification Program. For example, the rule would implement an Electronic Health Record Reporting Program as a new condition of certification under the 21st Century Cures Act; modify and expand exceptions to the information blocking regulations to support information sharing; revise several certification program criteria; and adopt U.S. Core Data for Interoperability Version 3 as a certification standard, ONC said. The proposed rule will be published in the April 18 Federal Register, with comments accepted for 60 days.
