The draft roadmap is a proposal to deliver better care that results in healthier people through the safe and secure exchange and use of electronic health information. It identifies critical actions to achieve success in sharing information and interoperability and outlines a timeframe for implementation. The plan incorporates months of comment and feedback from hundreds of health and health IT experts from across the nation through ONC advisory group feedback, listening sessions and an online forum.
