Note: The HTI-1 Final Rule outlined several updates to existing certification criteria that were originally required to be met by December 31, 2025, as the new requirements go into effect on January 1, 2026. However, given the recent lapse in appropriations, ASTP/ONC issued enforcement discretion on November 24, 2025, which effectively gives Certified Health IT developers until March 1, 2026, to update their Health IT Modules consistent with policies finalized in the HTI-1 Final Rule and provide such technology to their customers. Please review this enforcement discretion notice closely for more details.
