The tool was created in conjunction with the federal Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Office for Civil Rights (OCR), the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FTC released the first iteration of the tool in 2016. This new version released in 2022 reflects recent regulatory changes.
