The Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) will have more oversight over certifying electronic health records and other technologies that store, share and analyze health information for consumers and the authority to ask developers to pull noncompliant products from the market under a new Final Rule scheduled for official publication in the Federal Register on October 19, 2016.
The Final Rule will give ONC power to decertify health IT products and issue a cease-and-desist notice to prevent the future sale or marketing of products that don’t comply with regulations or found to pose a risk to public health or safety. Developers of decertified products also would have to notify affected customers and providers who purchased the products.
