Proposed Project: Comprehensive Communication Campaign for HITECH Act—OMB No. 0990–NEW—Office National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC). Abstract: As part of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH Act) of 2009, ONC is proposing to conduct a nationwide communication campaign to meet the Congressional mandate to educate the public about privacy and security of electronically exchanged personal health information. ONC requires formative and process information about different segments of the public to conduct the campaign effectively. Data collection will occur continuously through the 24 months of the campaign. The data will be used to inform campaign strategies, messages, materials and Web sites. ONC is collaborating with the HHS Office of Civil Rights to oversee the education and communication activities. The purpose of the campaign is to reach consumers, patients and health care providers to: • Build approval for HIT adoption and meaningful use. • Increase patient and provider participation in electronic health information exchange. • Educate the public about the uses of personal health information and privacy and security protections available to them. • Generate participation in HITECH programs (e.g. loans, grants, and contracts). Electronic health information exchange promises an array of potential benefits for individuals and the U.S. health care system through improved health care quality, safety, and efficiency. At the same time, this environment also poses new challenges and opportunities for protecting health information. Health information technology and electronic health information exchange may also provide individuals with new, more effective methods to engage with their health care providers and affect how their health information may be exchanged.
