Guidance for code sets available in the ONC Health IT Certification Program

Final

Issued by: Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) of Health Information Technology

C5. Are code sets available in the ONC Health IT Certification Program?

The ONC Health IT Certification Program calls for publishing any Secretarial determinations that have been made with respect to "minimum standard" code sets to be published regularly on a quarterly basis. If the Secretary accepts a newer version of a "minimum standard" code set, nothing is required of ONC-Authorized Certification Bodies (ONC-ACBs), Complete EHR or EHR Module developers, or the eligible professionals and eligible hospitals who have implemented Certified EHR Technology.
