Name of Committee: HIT Policy Committee.
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,

Fax: 202-260-1276, email: [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 committee will hear reports from its workgroups and
updates from ONC and other Federal agencies. 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: ONC is committed to the orderly conduct of its advisory
committee meetings. 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 two
days prior to the Committee's meeting date. Oral comments from the
public will be scheduled in the agenda. 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 public comment period, ONC will take
written comments after the meeting until close of business on that day.
Persons attending ONC's 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. Seating is limited at the location, and ONC will make every
effort to accommodate persons with physical disabilities or special
needs. If you require special accommodations due to a disability,
please contact MacKenzie Robertson at least seven (7) days in advance
of the meeting.
Notice of this meeting is given under the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-463, 5 U.S.C., App. 2).
Dated: October 22, 2012.
