The Health IT Privacy and Security Tiger team on July 5 laid out its agenda for addressing some of the more urgent health information privacy policy gaps confronting federal policymakers before the meaningful use plan goes into effect next year.
The team was formed to address privacy and security problems involving health information exchange (HIE) programs funded by the Office of the National Coordinator that must be resolved over the summer, said Paul Egerman, the team’s co-chairman, at the Tiger team meeting.
