Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information 
Technology; Notice of Intent To Hold a Public Meeting To Share 
Information on Establishing an American Health Information Community 
Successor

SUMMARY: On August 17, 2007, Secretary Leavitt will lead a public 
meeting to raise awareness of the implementation strategy for the AHIC 
successor and encourage collaboration. The AHIC is a federally-
chartered advisory committee that provides input and recommendations to 
the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on how to make health 
records digital and interoperable, and how to assure that the privacy 
and security of those records are protected. (Please visit https://
www.hhs.gov/healthit/community/background/ for more information on the 
AHIC.) The AHIC charter specifies that the AHIC will develop and 
advance recommendations to the Secretary on a private-sector health 
information community initiative that will succeed the AHIC. The AHIC 
successor will bring together public and private, not-for-profit and 
for-profit entities that represent all sectors of the health community. 
This new public-private partnership will develop a unified approach to 
realize an effective, secure, interoperable nationwide health 
information system that improves the quality, safety, and efficiency of 
health care in the U.S.
    For the purposes of facilitating the establishment of the AHIC 
successor and convening a planning board, HHS will award a Cooperative 
Agreement that allows for substantial involvement by the Federal 
Government. Once a new legal entity is established and after certain 
conditions are met, HHS will support that entity through additional 
funding that will enable initial operations and transition of specific 
AHIC responsibilities by late Fall 2008.
