* **HIT Definitions Project Announces First Public Forum*

* *



To encourage widespread industry participation in a project for the
Office of the National Coordinator to define key health information
technology terms, there are two public forums to gather comments. The
first public forum will be held in Washington, DC on January 16.



The public forums will play a vital role in the process of developing
consensus-based definitions for electronic health record, electronic
medical record, personal health record, health information exchange and
regional health information network. Public forum participants will have
the opportunity to review work-in-progress from the project’s two work
groups and provide feedback. The forums offer the healthcare community
and other thought leaders the opportunity to comment, share concerns,
and make important contributions to the project.



The Washington forum will be held from 9:00 am – 12:00 p.m. at
Washington Hospital, National Rehabilitation Center Auditorium. More
information about the forum as well as the registration form for
participants can be found at http://definitions.nahit.org/forums.php.
There is no registration fee associated with this event.
