HTI-1 compliance doesn't end with certification. Learn how EHRs can maintain FHIR APIs, EHI Export, Decision Support Interventions, Real World Testing, and other ONC-certified capabilities to reduce compliance risk and support reliable interoperability.

HTI-1 compliance involves much more than implementing a FHIR API. This practical checklist helps EHRs and health IT teams evaluate certification, operations, SMART on FHIR, USCDI, EHI Export, Real World Testing, and whether to build internally or integrate with a certified partner.

Electronic prior authorization (ePA) is becoming an operational priority for EHRs.

Learn why preparing now can reduce risk and accelerate implementation.

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.
