Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology Justification of Estimates for Appropriations Committees, Fiscal Year 2015.

摘要

The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), in the Office of the Secretary for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is the principal Federal organization charged with coordinating national efforts related to the implementation and use of electronic health information exchange. By encouraging providers to adopt health information technology (health IT), both the quality of care and the efficiency with which it is delivered can be improved. Health IT use and adoption is the effective integration of health information products and services that support safer, better health and care. A key ONC role is coordinating the public and private-sector efforts to improve the quality of health and care through information technology.
