By the EHR Association Certification Workgroup

When federal agencies, including those under HHS, began exploring opportunities for deregulation and burden reduction pursuant to several of President Trump’s Executive Orders (EO), the EHR Association seized the opportunity to voice our unique perspective and deregulation recommendations in the ASTP/ONC Health IT Certification Program. Since then, we’ve been encouraged by and appreciative of the tangible steps ASTP/ONC has taken towards reducing regulatory burdens, specifically its publication of enforcement discretion for both the Insights and Real World Testing (RWT) Condition and Maintenance of Certification.
