HealthIT Implementation - They need & want your input folks!

> In June of 2008, ONC published the Federal Health IT Strategic Plan
>  a roadmap for the implementation of nationwide health IT. We need
> to update the plan to take into account progress made toward the
> HITECH vision and new opportunities and challenges that may have
> arisen. The experiences of providers and health IT professionals
> working on the ground play an enormous role in crafting these
> adjustments to the Federal Health IT Strategic Plan and setting the
> course of our future efforts.
>
> Today, ONC posted a draft of the HIT Policy Committee Strategic Plan
> Workgroups Health IT Strategic Framework, a foundation for updates
> to the Federal Health IT Strategic Plan. The draft Framework focuses
> on the goal, guiding principles, objectives, and strategies of four
> key areas:
>
> Meaningful use of health IT
> Policy and technical infrastructure
> Privacy and security
> Learning health system
> The long and short of it is that ONC needs you  your experiences
> and insights can tell us much about what is working well in the
> implementation of the HITECH Act and where we have opportunities for
> improvement.
>
> I hope that you will take an opportunity to review the draft Health
> IT Strategic Framework and share your thoughts on the FACA blog or
> via the public listening session, scheduled for April 6, 2010.
> Registration is required for the listening session, and complete
> details are available at http://healthit.hhs.gov/StrategicPlanWG.
> The HIT Policy Committee will consider public input before making
> formal recommendations to ONC.
>
> Together we can ensure that the HITECH Acts goals, objectives, and
> strategies are on-target and leading us in the right direction 
> toward the meaningful use of EHRs and improved health and care for
> Americans health care.
