A National Dialogue on Health Information Technology & Privacy

There’s a national dialogue going on right now on health information technology and privacy. Are you a part of the conversation? Maybe you should be.

If you are in the healthcare business, this conversation is going to be critical to how you do business in the coming years. If your business is not in the healthcare industry, you could still be effected. How? Well, do you have healthcare? Do you provide healthcare for your employees? This discussion is going to effect and inform healthcare policy as soon as next year, so jump in!

What is the National Dialogue?

In late October, just before a critical presidential election, citizens and stakeholders around the nation will join a unique experiment in 21st century democracy. The National Academy of Public Administration, on behalf of the Federal CIO Council, the Office of Management and Budget, and the General Services Administration, will host an online national dialogue that demonstrates a fundamentally different approach to the work of government.

This national discussion will engage a diverse group of voices in tackling one of the key issues confronting the nation’s health care system: How can we use information technology to improve the way patients interact with the healthcare system, while safeguarding their right to privacy? Participants will have an opportunity to discuss challenges, generate breakthrough ideas, and recommend principles that will be presented to the next Administration.
