The Health Information Technology Oversight Council (HITOC) Members
The Council is comprised of eleven individuals appointed by Governor Ted Kulongoski. They bring to the group the diverse experience outlined by the legislation in health information technology as well as in health care delivery, policy and research. They represent consumer and business perspectives, public and private sectors, and the geographic and demographic differences of Oregon's health care providers and the patients they serve.
 
The Health Information Technology Oversight Council (HITOC) was created within the Oregon Health Authority by the passage of HB 2009. It is charged with developing a statewide strategic plan for electronic health information exchange, coordinating public and private efforts to increase adoption of electronic health records, setting technology standards, ensuring privacy and security controls, and creating a sustainable business plan to support meaningful use of health information technology to lower costs and improve quality of care.
