Health IT vendors struggle to navigate constantly changing ONC certification requirements and compliance criteria

Health IT companies and EHR vendors face expensive, time-consuming recertification cycles as regulatory bodies like ONC frequently revise certification criteria, forcing them to rebuild features, conduct new audits, and delay product releases. Current solutions lack clarity on which criteria changes are mandatory versus optional, creating uncertainty about compliance timelines and certification costs. Vendors waste resources on features that may become decertified or need redesign within months.
