ONC Launches a Web Site for Public Comments

The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology has launched PlanningRoom, a new Web site to foster public comment as the agency updates the Federal Health IT Strategic Plan. ONC seeks comment on 10 areas of consumer engagement: Enabling information access, empowering consumer action, shifting attitudes, identifying useful health information, patient generated health data, supporting shared decision making through HIT, decreasing health disparities through HIT, supporting personalized health care, supporting new health care delivery models, and using health IT to enable research and inform practice. The site is available at http://planningroom.org/.
