RSVP:

MedIDTheftTownHall at hhs.gov and indicate that you are planning to
attend in person or by webcast.   There is no fee associated with this
event.   Onsite space is limited.

The Town Hall's focus will consider how medical identity theft should
be addressed in a health information technology (health IT)
environment. Health care stakeholders from the public and private
sectors will share their knowledge and experience and gain insights
into trends and future developments.

As part of ONC's mission to assure that electronic health information
exchange is secure, this Town hall is designed to increase
understanding of the medical identity theft landscape. Public
discussion during the Town Hall will feed into and support potential
recommendations for the prevention, detection, and remediation of this
form of identity theft, leveraging health IT and best practices, and
to foster ongoing collaboration and communication.

Please visit http://www.hhs.gov/healthit in the coming weeks to learn
