Technology, HHS.
ACTION: Notice of meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This notice announces a forthcoming subcommittee meeting of a
Federal advisory committee of the Office of the National Coordinator
for Health Information Technology (ONC). The meeting will be open to
the public.
Name of Committee: HIT Policy Committee's Privacy & Security
Tiger Team.
General Function of the Committee: To provide recommendations to
the National Coordinator on a policy framework for the development
and adoption of a nationwide health information technology
infrastructure that permits the electronic exchange and use of
health information as is consistent with the Federal Health IT
Strategic Plan and that includes recommendations on the areas in
which standards, implementation specifications, and certification
criteria are needed.
Date and Time: The meeting will be held on June 29, 2010, from 8
a.m. to 5:15 p.m./Eastern Time.
Location: Grand Hyatt Washington Hotel, 1000 H Street, NW.,
Washington, DC 20001 (telephone: 202-582-1234). Please check the ONC
Web site, http://healthit.hhs.gov, for additional information as it
becomes available, instructions on how to listen via telephone or
Web, and viewing a video recording of the event which will be
available following the meeting.
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: [email protected]. Please call
the contact person for up-to-date information on this meeting. 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 workgroup will be discussing technologies that
enable consumer choice for sharing their information in health
information exchange. The workgroup will be hearing testimony from
current users of such technologies, developers of ``cutting edge''
technologies that may be useful in the clinical care setting in the
future, as well as stakeholder groups. ONC intends to make
background material available to the public no later than two (2)
business days prior to the meeting. If ONC is unable to post the
background material on its Web site prior to the meeting, it will be
made publicly available at the location of the advisory committee
meeting, and the background material will be posted on ONC's Web
site after 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 committee.
Written submissions may be made to the contact person on or before
June 23, 2010. Oral comments from the public will be scheduled
between approximately 5 p.m. and 5:15 p.m./Eastern Time. 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 hearing
session, ONC will take written comments after the meeting until
close of business on that day.
Persons attending advisory committee meetings are advised that
the agency is not responsible for providing access to electrical
outlets.
ONC welcomes the attendance of the public at its advisory
committee meetings. Web registration is highly recommended and is

days in advance of the meeting.

committee meetings. Please visit our Web site at http://healthit.hhs.gov for procedures on public conduct during advisory
