Washington, DC, November 12, 2008 - HHS Secretary Highlights Contributions of Health IT Advisory Panel

The American Health Information Community (AHIC) -- a federal advisory committee established in 2005 to offer recommendations to HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt to accelerate the adoption of health information technology, or health IT -- formally concluded its work today. In his remarks addressing AHIC members, Secretary Leavitt formally thanked them and noted, "The talent, dedication and hard work by the AHIC board, its many workgroup members and the dedicated staff of the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology was invaluable to me in shaping policy and program initiatives to advance health IT.” Click here for the full press release: http://www.hhs.gov/news/press/2008pres/11/20081112a.html

 

Washington, DC, October 31, 2008 - AHIC Successor, INC seeks feedback on Value Case Prioritization Process

This paper describes a process designed to prioritize future interoperability initiatives, while at the same time accelerating and coordinating all interoperability initiatives. The process is based on the use of a tool referred to as a Value Case. This tool, the Value Case, is a document used to convey stakeholder interest in a specific instance of health information exchange (sometimes referred to as a Use Case) and make the business case for how harmonization of standards, publication of Interoperability Specifications1, and other required activities will be accomplished over time to provide a clear pathway to more widespread adoption and use of interoperable IT products. Comments are due November 24, 2008. To submit comments on the AHIC Successor Inc. draft value case process, click here. Here is the draft document:

Washington, DC, September 23, 2008 - AHIC Successor, INC established to Accelerate HIT adoption

In 2005, HHS Secretary Michael O. Leavitt created the American Health Information Community (AHIC), a federal advisory body of public-and private-sector leaders, to make recommendations to the Secretary about how to accelerate adoption of interoperable health IT in a smooth, market-led way. From its inception, AHIC was conceived to be an interim organization that would sunset by December 2008, giving way to a new, public-private partnership. Transition activities are now well under way. The AHIC Successor Inc. was incorporated on July 17, 2008. On September 23, 2008 the inaugural Board of Directors was announced. The Board of Directors consists of a highly qualified team of public and private healthcare leaders representing for-profit, not-for profit, and Federal Government interests. This expert panel of health care professionals bring vast healthcare, IT, standardization, certification, and board-level executive management credentials to bear on solving the many challenges posed in developing interoperability among healthcare providers and other industry partners.
