DEFINITION: The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) is a staff division of the Office of the Secretary, within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. ONC leads national health IT efforts, charged as the principal federal entity to coordinate nationwide efforts to implement and use the most advanced health information technology [HIT] and the electronic exchange of health information.

And so, hospitals and medical groups are now pushing back on ONC’s proposed information blocking disincentives, arguing that the financial penalties are “excessive,” “unfair” and will discourage participation in value-based care programs [VBC].
