Federal Health IT Strategic Plan Consumer Work Group Feedback
Questions for consideration:
Is there anything within the Strategic Plan and the Work Group priority crosswalk that WG members don’t agree with or feel strongly about? (feel free to send via email to chairs or [email protected])
Is there anything identified within the Plan or in its gap analysis that is important, but that would be better addressed by the private market than through government action?
What is important to consumers but is/may be missing from the Strategic Plan overall? (e.g., eVisits, etc.)
