A successor will need to have the influence to accelerate EHR timelines, according to Jennifer Kent, a senior analyst at Parks Associates.

"Technology providers and investors in the connected health space will be looking for Mostashari's position to be filled quickly with someone who can similarly push this market forward," Kent told eWEEK in an email. "The ONC will want to provide the market, and especially health care providers, with a confirmation that EHR requirements and timelines will not be changing (or if so how) in Mostashari's absence."
