ASTP/ONC Seeks Input on Diagnostic Imaging Interoperability

ASTP/ONC has also issued a new Request for Information focused on diagnostic imaging interoperability standards and certification, reflecting the growing centrality of imaging to patient care and clinical decision-making. The RFI seeks feedback on how standards and ONC Health IT Certification Program criteria can better support access to and exchange of diagnostic images as part of electronic health information, with the goal of improving care coordination, reducing costs, and accelerating diagnosis and treatment. Comments will be due March 16, 2026. The RFI is available in the Federal Register.
