9/18/2009
Note about this meeting: Protecting health data through comprehensive privacy policies and security functions are foundational requirements for appropriate management and exchange of individuals' health data. It constitutes one of the five categories of criteria in the meaningful use criteria matrix. The HIT Policy Committee held an initial informational public hearing on September 18, 2009, as input to further deliberations regarding recommendations for 2013 and 2015 meaningful use criteria. Initially, the Committee is seeking testimony in four broad categories: 1) individual choice/control, data segmentation; 2) use, disclosure, secondary use, data stewardship; 3) aggregate data use, de-identification/re-identification, models for data storage; and 4) transparency, accountability, audit.
