NATIONAL HEALTH IT COORDINATOR SEEKING FEEDBACK FOR PUBLIC HIE STUDY

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recently announced that the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) is planning to conduct a survey of consumer interest in the proposed Health Information Exchange. Public comments are currently being accepted regarding the types of information collection that should be included in the survey, which is currently planned to be a nationwide telephone interview of 2,500 people. The deadline for comment submission is December 28th.

Interested individuals and organizations can submit their comments, as well as obtain copies of related information for this effort, by contacting HHS (ideally with address, phone number, OMB number, and any OS document identifiers), either via e-mail at:

Sherette.funncoleman 'at' hhs.gov

or via telephone at the Reports Clearance Office:

(202) 690-6162

ONC will hold a web seminar prior to the publication of the final report to convey the findings to the general public, with the report itself being posted online at:

healthit.hhs.gov
