The Certified Health IT Product List (CHPL) is a comprehensive and authoritative listing of all certified Health Information Technology which has been successfully tested and certified by the ONC Health IT Certification program. All products listed on the CHPL have been tested by an ONC-Accredited Testing Laboratory (ONC-ATL) and certified by an ONC-Authorized Certification Body (ONC-ACB) to meet criteria adopted by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Electronic prescribing (eRx) is a key component of the meaningful use of health IT to improve health care quality and lower costs. This dataset includes national and state eRx and health information exchange activity by community pharmacies and office-based health care providers active through the Surescripts Network. Surescripts is a health information network, and ONC procured electronic prescribing activity data conducted within its network from December 2008 through April 2014. The Surescripts network is used by the majority of all U.S. community pharmacies to rout prescriptions, excluding closed systems such as Kaiser Permanente. These include chain, franchise, and independently owned pharmacies. Data for annual percentages of new and renewal prescriptions routed through the Surescripts network exclude controlled substances. You may view more information about Surescripts, contact the company, and access more network data through the company's official site.

The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act was passed as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) to invest in the U.S. health IT infrastructure. The Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) received over $2 billion of these HITECH funds, which was granted to health and community organizations across the U.S. This crosswalk provides geographic data for the service areas of two of these HITECH programs: the Health IT Regional Extension Centers (REC) Program and the Beacon Communities Program. This data can be linked to program financial and performance data to map and visualize program data. You can access the data in multiple formats below.

Electronic prescribing (eRx) is a key component of the meaningful use of health IT to improve health care quality and lower costs. This dataset includes county-level electronic prescribing (eRx) and health information exchange activity by community pharmacies and office-based health care providers active through the Surescripts Network. Surescripts is a health information network, and ONC procured electronic prescribing activity data conducted within its network from December 2008 through April 2014.

The Updated Systematic Review reviews the January 2010 to August 2013 health IT literature to examine the effects of health IT across three aspects of care: efficiency, quality, and safety. This report updates previous systematic reviews of the health IT literature, focusing specifically on identifying and summarizing the evidence related to the use of health IT as outlined in the Meaningful Use regulations. The review examined the literature to determine the article authors' findings related to the effects or associations of a meaningful use functionality on an aspect of care. Each article's findings was scored as positive (defined as: health IT improved key aspect of care but none worse off), mixed-positive (defined as: positive effects of health IT outweight negative effects), neutral (defined as: health IT not associated with change in outcome), or negative (defined as: negative effects of health IT on outcome). The full review data: article, related meaningful use functionality, aspect of care, and author sentiment are provided in this dataset.

The Health IT State Policy Levers Compendium was developed by the Office of National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) in coordination with states. It is intended to support state efforts to advance interoperability and can also be used in service of delivery system reform. The Compendium includes a directory of health IT policy levers and nearly 300 examples of how states have used them. The 'Activities Catalog' includes the over 300 documented examples of health IT policy levers in use by states. The catalog data includes the states using the policy lever to promote health IT and advance interoperability, the state's documented activities, and official information source for these activities.

The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act was passed as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) to invest in the U.S. health IT infrastructure. The Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) received over $2 billion of these HITECH funds, which was granted to health and community organizations across the U.S. This data set provides the full list of ONC's HITECH Act grantees. The data encompasses the five ONC HITECH Act programs: the Beacon Communities Program, the Health IT Regional Extension Centers Program, the Health IT Workforce Programs, the State Health Information Exchange Program, and the Strategic Health IT Advanced Research Projects (SHARP) Program. This data set includes geographic, federal funding, and grantee organization data. The data can be linked to other open data sets on the Health IT Dashboard and other sources.

The Federal Health IT Strategic Plan 2015-2020 explains how the federal government intends to apply the effective use of information and technology to help the nation achieve high-quality care, lower costs, a healthy population, and engaged individuals. The work described in this Plan aims to modernize the U.S. health IT infrastructure so that individuals, their providers, and communities can use it to help achieve health and wellness goals. The Plan goals, objectives, and strategies outline how this work will be organized and tracked over the term of this Plan. Access the full list of goals, objectives, and strategies below.

ONC established the SHARP program to support innovative research and to address well-documented problems that impede the adoption and use of health IT. The program covers four subject areas managed by four distinct project groups: health IT security (SHARPS), patient-centered cognitive support (SHARPc), health care application and network design (SMART), and secondary use of EHR information (SHARPn). This dataset provides the full inventory of project outputs from the SHARP program, ranging from presentations and manuscripts to APIs and software.

The dataset contains all the current and historical performance measures submitted as part of ONC;s annual budget formulation process. These measures track agency priorities for electronic health record adoption, health information exchange, patient engagement, and privacy and security. Each measure contains the annual estimate and a measure target, if applicable, for all the years the measure was reported in the ONC Budget.
