DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES RELEASES NATIONAL HIT PLAN
|
|
HHS Secretary Tommy Thompson on Wednesday released the first part of the government's plan to establish a national health information infrastructure in 10 years and bring electronic health records to every patient. The report, prepared by national health IT coordinator Dr. David Brailer, outlines the "Decade of Health Information Technology" program, a joint public-private initiative with four major overall goals and several specific actions.
"The federal government will provide a vision and a strategic direction for a national interoperable health care system, but will rely on a competitive technology industry, privately operated support services and shared investments," Thompson said of the federal and private roles under the program.
