HHS reorganizes technology functions, renames ONC

The HHS is undertaking a major restructure which will consolidate oversight of technology, data, and artificial intelligence into the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, to be renamed the Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy. The HHS 405(d) Program, which focuses on cybersecurity, will be moved to the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response. This reorganisation is in response to cybersecurity threats and the growing role of AI in healthcare.
