Applicability Section 170.300 establishes the applicability of subpart C Certification Criteria for – Health Information Technology. We propose to revise paragraph (d) of § 170.300 to add in a reference to § 170.315 and revise the parenthetical in the paragraph to apply to any say “i.e., health care of apply to both ambulatory and inpatient These setting” instead “i.e., settings.” proposed revisions would clarify which specific capabilities within a certification criterion included in § 170.315 have general applicability (i.e., apply to any health care setting) or apply only to an inpatient setting or an ambulatory setting. The proposed revision to change the language of the parenthetical aligns with our proposed approach to make the ONC Health IT Certification Program more agnostic to health care settings and accessible to health IT that supports care and practice settings beyond the ambulatory and inpatient settings. We refer readers to section IV.B of this preamble for a detailed discussion of our proposals to modify the ONC Health IT Certification Program.
