Epic has introduced new capabilities supporting Version 3 of the United States Core Data for Interoperability. They’re available more than a year before the federally required December 2025 date to support the new data set. . . The Office of the National Coordinator for Healthcare Technology completed its final health IT certification rule, which revised several program certification criteria and set a timeline for raising the baseline version of the USCDI from Version 1 to Version 3 by January 1, 2026. “The adoption of new and revised standards and criteria in this final rule will facilitate interoperability through standardized health information and functionality, which will lead to better care and health outcomes for patients while reducing burden and costs,” said ONC (now known as ASTP/ONC) upon publication of HTI-1 in the Federal Register.
