ONC’s proposed framework for interoperability measurement aims to promote consistency across health IT systems and services.
ONC recognizes the need to push nationwide interoperability further to the forefront of health IT infrastructure.
The federal agency recently published a Proposed Interoperability Standards Measurement Framework to assess the healthcare industry’s progress toward implementing health IT interoperability standards and their use in measuring advancement.
ONC sees this undertaking as a way to guide the evolution of the Interoperability Standards Advisory (ISA), inform updates to the ONC Health IT Certification 3 Program, and influence stakeholder decision-making.
At present, interoperability measurements standards vary between stakeholders. The lack of consistency poses difficulties when attempting to track the progress of health IT interoperability on a national scale.
