Virtually all of the ONC’s activities will be suspended. “Under the shutdown, we won’t be able to continue the Standards and Interoperability Framework activities nor will we be able to conduct the related standards and testing activities; policy activities such as privacy, security and clinical quality measure development; and administration of the Certified Health IT Product List would also stop,” says an ONC spokesman.
Additionally, the ONC’s website, HealthIT.gov, will not be kept up-to-date. Updates on the shutdown and the eventual resumption of services can be found at USA.gov.
