(B) In responding to the National Coordinator: (1) Approve a timeline by which it will deliver recommendations to the National Coordinator; and (2) Determine whether to establish a task force to conduct research and solicit testimony, where appropriate, and issue recommendations to the full committee in a timely manner. (C) Advise the National Coordinator, consistent with the accepted timeline in (B)(1) and after NIST testing, where appropriate, on standards, implementation specifications, and/or certification criteria, for the National Coordinator’s review and determination whether or not to endorse the recommendations, and possible adoption of the proposed recommendations by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (Secretary). The standards and related topics which the HITSC is expected to address in 2016 include, but may not be limited to: Quality measurement; precision medicine; security; consumer-mediated information exchange; public health; technical interoperability experience in the field; and updates to the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC)’s Interoperability Standards Advisory(ies).

Subsequently, on June 5, 2015, the HITSC submitted a transmittal letter to the National Coordinator which contained the HITSC recommendations for the adoption of two new certification criteria for the ONC Health IT Certification Program.
