Health IT office looking to reach physicians
NEWS IN BRIEF — Posted June 20, 2011
The Health and Human Services Dept. Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology has announced its intention to survey physicians and other clinicians on the best ways to promote and communicate the agency's policies and agenda.
The ONC published a notice in the Federal Register in May saying that the ONC "must determine their [clinicians'] informational needs and the most effective communication channels and formats for reaching and educating them about the transition to an electronic records environment. This information will allow ONC to engage health care professionals as partners in the transition."
