for Health Information Technology (ONC). The meetings will be open to
the public via dial-in access only.
Name of Committees: HIT Standards Committee's Workgroups: Clinical
Operations Vocabulary, and Privacy & Security workgroups.
General Function of the Committee: To provide recommendations to
the National Coordinator on standards, implementation specifications,
and certification criteria for the electronic exchange and use of
health information for purposes of adoption, consistent with the
implementation of the Federal Health IT Strategic Plan, and in
accordance with policies developed by the HIT Policy Committee.
Date and Time: The HIT Standards Committee Workgroups will hold the
following public meetings during February 2010: February 18th Privacy &
Security Workgroup, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m./Eastern Time; and February 23rd

Location: All workgroup meetings will be available via webcast;
visit http://healthit.hhs.gov for instructions on how to listen via

information as it becomes available.
Contact Person: Judy Sparrow, Office of the National Coordinator,
HHS, 330 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20201, 202-205-4528, Fax: 202-
690-6079, e-mail: judy.sparrow@hhs.gov. Please call the contact person
for up-to-date information on these meetings. A notice in the Federal
Register about last minute modifications that impact a previously
announced advisory committee meeting cannot always be published quickly
enough to provide timely notice.
Agenda: The workgroups will be discussing issues related to their
specific subject matter, e.g., clinical operations vocabulary
standards, and privacy and security standards activities. If background
materials are associated with the workgroup meetings, they will be
posted on ONC's Web site prior to the meeting at http://
healthit.hhs.gov.
Procedure: Interested persons may present data, information, or
views, orally or in writing, on issues pending before the workgroups.
Written submissions may be made to the contact person on or before two
days prior to the workgroups' meeting date. Oral comments from the
public will be scheduled at the conclusion of each workgroup meeting.
Time allotted for each presentation will be limited to three minutes.
If the number of speakers requesting to comment is greater than can be
reasonably accommodated during the scheduled open public session, ONC
will take written comments after the meeting until close of business on
that day.
If you require special accommodations due to a disability, please
contact Judy Sparrow at least seven (7) days in advance of the meeting.
