Strategic Plan Workgroups
HITOC chartered two workgroups to support the development of Oregon's Strategic Plan for Health Information Technology 2024-2028. The Strategic Plan provides high-level priorities, guidance, and direction for health IT over the next five years. It plan was developed over a multi-year process involving HITOC meetings, extensive community engagement, and recommendations from the two workgroups.
Community Information Exchange (CIE) Workgroup
The Community Information Exchange (CIE) Workgroup was formed by the Health Information Technology Oversight Council (HITOC) as directed by House Bill 4150 (2022). The CIE Workgroup's role was to provide recommendations to the legislature, HITOC, and the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) on strategies to accelerate, support, and improve statewide CIE in Oregon. Recommendations were submitted to the Oregon legislature in a draft report in September 2022, and a final report on January 31, 2023. Recommendations will also be used to inform HITOC's Health IT Strategic Plan for Oregon and OHA efforts.
The Workgroup met monthly March through November 2022 and was comprised of representatives from Oregon's diverse landscape of community, health care, and social services partners.
