Fierce Healthcare February 3, 2025
The Trump administration indefinitely canceled meetings of the Health Information Technology Advisory Committee (HITAC), an advisory panel that helps the federal government establish rules and standards for the use of healthcare data and technologies.
The HITAC was established by the 21st Century Cures Act, was enacted in 2016 and began having its first public meetings in 2018.
A memo sent out to HITAC members last Wednesday on behalf of Seth Pazinski, director of the Office of Planning, Evaluation, and Analysis for the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC), announced that all HITAC meetings, including full committee meetings and task force and work group meetings, are canceled “until further notice.” Fierce Healthcare reviewed a copy of the memo.
