DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

Consumer Health IT Pledge Program
Office of the National
Coordinator for Health Information
Technology, HHS.
ACTION: Notice of availability for
Consumer Health IT Pledge Program.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Department of
Health & Human Services’ Office of the
National Coordinator for Health
Information Technology (ONC) is
leading a national campaign to educate
and engage the public on the value and
benefits of health information
technology (health IT) in improving
health and health care. As part of the
campaign, we encourage entities that
touch Americans’ lives to pledge to
empower individuals to be partners in
their health through health IT. There are
two types of pledges: One for those who
manage or maintain individually
identifiable health data (e.g., providers,
hospitals, payers, retail pharmacies) and
another for those who do not manage or
maintain consumer health data, but
have the ability to educate consumers
about the importance of getting access to
and using their health information (e.g.,
employers, consumer and disease-based
organizations, healthcare associations,
product developers).
Taking the pledge is voluntary, and
does not represent any endorsement by
the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services or any other part of the
federal government.
To learn more about the details of the
pledge, please visit: https://
www.healthit.gov/pledge.
Notice of this schedule is given under
the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111–
5), section 3003.
