Project Scope
|
The Institute of Medicine will form an ad hoc committee to examine the processes of the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, determine how effectively they are working to advance the national Health IT agenda, and make recommendations for improvement as warranted.
The committee is asked to deliver its report by September 2007 (less than 3 months) and thus will focus on the narrow task of determining whether the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology is effectively advancing the national Health IT agenda. The committee is not tasked with developing a new agenda.
Specifically, the committee will determine whether the processes are advancing as rapidly and cohesively as possible and whether they are aligned to move forward in a coordinated fashion on common priorities so as to meet the challenges of the national Health IT agenda.
In examining issues of pace and timing of the program, the committee is asked to consider these processes as well as the many needs for standards, the level of specificity required for achieving interoperability and processing of content, the complexities of standards implementation in the health domain, the range of software and systems that need to accommodate them, and the other issues related to their implementation and use.
The project is sponsored by The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology.
The approximate start date for the project is July 30, 2007.
A report is expected to be released by the end of the project in approximately 3 months.
