HHS reverses 2024 reorganization of IT services
The Department of Health and Human Services March 31 announced that it is reverting a 2024 reorganization of health IT leadership and services. The dually titled Office of the Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy/Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT will now restore ONC as a singularly titled office. The HHS Chief Technology Officer, HHS Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer and HHS Chief Data Officer roles and responsibilities will move back under the HHS Office of the Chief Information Officer. HHS said the changes reinforce OCIO’s responsibility for enterprise IT, cybersecurity and data operations, while ONC will focus on health IT policy, standards and certification.
