ACTION: Notice of meetings.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This notice announces forthcoming subcommittee meetings of a
federal advisory committee of the Office of the National Coordinator
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, Implementation, 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 December 2010: December 2nd
Implementation Workgroup, 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m./ET; and Clinical
Operations Workgroup and Vocabulary Task Force meetings TBD.
Location: All workgroup meetings will be available via Webcast;
visit http:[sol][sol]healthit.hhs.gov for instructions on how to
listen via telephone or Web. Please check the ONC Web site for
additional 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:
[email protected]. Please call the contact person for up-to-date
information on these meetings. A notice in the Federal Register
about last minute modifications that affect 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, implementation opportunities and challenges, 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:[sol][sol]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.
ONC is committed to the orderly conduct of its advisory
committee meetings. Please visit our Web site at
http:[sol][sol]healthit.hhs.gov for procedures on public conduct
during advisory committee meetings.
