The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services named new and continuing members to the Health Information Technology Policy and Health Information Technology Standards Committees, the department announced.
The members of the committees will advise National Coordinator for Health Information Technology Farzad Mostashari.
“The role the Policy and Standards Committees play in helping guide the nation’s health IT policy is immeasurable,” Mostashari said. “HHS relies on their input and guidance because of each member’s broad and diverse perspectives that have been informed by their real-world experience.”
