ONC’s expectations for certified health IT are shifting. In 2026, exchanging data is no longer enough. Systems must support traceable, explainable, and longitudinal data use under HTI-1 and USCDI v3. This blog explains what insight really means and why it matters now.

USCDI v3 is no longer a future problem. This blog explains what real readiness looks like for EHRs, why early alignment matters, and how planning now prevents rework, testing delays, and certification stress as 2026 approaches.

Passing ONC certification proves your EHR works once. Sustaining compliance proves it works every day. This blog explains how EHRs can stay compliant under HTI-1 through USCDI v3 readiness, Real-World Testing, and automated evidence tracking with Darena Health’s certified modules.

The Inferno Tool outage has left EHR developers stranded just as (g)(10) testing deadlines close in. With government systems down, certification projects are stuck in limbo.

Our pre-certified (b)(10) and (b)(11) modules help EHRs maintain momentum, meet HTI-1 requirements, and stay ready for USCDI v3 certification.

ASTP/ONC’s 2026 HTI-1 map includes making USCDI v3 data elements a baseline for app-based patient access. Understand the USCDI v3 mandate and how it impacts your (g)(9) implementation and many other HTI-1 certification criteria. We break it down for you in this blog.
