Restructuring of the Office of the National Coordinator for HIT
This post was written by Jacqueline Penrod.
Effective December 1, 2009, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology reorganized its substructure to “more effectively meet the mission outlined by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (“HITECH”) Act.” The new structure will include five offices, each of which will directly report to the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology. They include: (i) the Office of Economic Modeling and Analysis; (ii) the Office of the Chief Scientist; (iii) the Office of the Deputy National Coordinator for Programs & Policy; (iv) the Office of the Deputy National Coordinator for Operations; and (v) the Office of the Chief Privacy Officer.
