ONC’s sights trained on interoperability, data security, advisory committee says

Dive Brief:

• The Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT’s No. 1 priority over the next few years is improving interoperability throughout the industry, according to the Health Information Technology Advisory Committee’s annual report workshop update.
• Rounding out ONC’s top priorities are privacy and security and patient access to medical records — issues targeted in the 21st Century Cures Act.
• The 29-page update shows the progress HITAC has made toward a final fiscal year 2018 annual report, which it will send to HHS and Congress this spring. That report will include an analysis of current gaps and opportunities in health IT infrastructure, along with recommendations for addressing the gaps.
