The Health Information Technology Advisory Committee (HITAC) plays an important role in ONC activities and objectives. Required by the 21st Century Cures Act, the HITAC has been operational since 2018 and represents a wide range of health IT stakeholders who inform ONC’s policies and programs.
The HITAC recommends policies, standards, implementation specifications, and certification criteria to the national coordinator across four target areas: interoperability, privacy and security, patient access to information, and use of technologies that support public health.
The HITAC had a busy 2021! In total, the HITAC held 10 full committee meetings including a Public Health Data Systems Hearing, 67 subcommittee meetings, produced 133 recommendations, and welcomed two new members. Check out this HITAC...
