Healthare IT News: President Trump’s budget proposal, released Tuesday, allocates $38 million to the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT for 2018. That’s $22 million, or 37 percent, less than the $60 million ONC had in previous years.
In other words: ONC is now charged with doing almost everything it already was but with considerably less in the way of financial resources.
The budget document, in fact, states that ONC’s two key priorities are health data interoperability and EHR usability. Trump’s document also instructs ONC to reduce support for the National Learning Consortium and the Consumer e-Health programs.
