Michelle Consolazio 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 24 hours
prior to the meeting start time. 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://www.healthit.gov/FACAS/health-it-standards-committee.
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 prior to the
meeting date. Oral comments from the public will be scheduled prior to
the lunch break and at the conclusion of each 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.
Persons attending ONC's advisory committee meetings are advised
that the agency is not responsible for providing wireless access or
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 special accommodations are required, please contact Michelle
