Transparency Info for Certified Health IT; ONC Annual Meeting Day 2

Today, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) began listing more detailed and easier-to-understand information about certified health information technology (health IT). Via an upgraded website, purchasers of health IT can access information about costs and limitations they may encounter when implementing and using certified health IT products. The disclosure of this information is required by ONC’s recent 2015 Edition final rule, which includes several provisions to increase transparency and accountability to help purchasers better compare and select products that meet their needs.
