CCO Health Information Technology Advisory Group

HITAG Overview

The Health Information Technology Advisory Group (HITAG) provides input to OHA about Coordinated Care Organizations' (CCO) health information technology needs and efforts and informs OHA's work on the Oregon Health Information Technology Program. Each CCO is encouraged to send a representative to HITAG. 

OHA works with HITAG to:

• Gather input on ongoing health IT efforts so that OHA’s work supports and aligns with CCOs’ efforts and provides some accountability back to CCOs
• Raise awareness of OHA’s health IT efforts and progress to inform CCOs as they plan their own technology efforts
• Identify challenges and opportunities from CCO perspectives to inform OHA’s planning for health IT efforts
• Provide a forum for CCOs to learn from each other and from presenters sharing information of value to CCOs

CCO Health IT Roadmaps

Each year, Oregon's Coordinated Care Organizations (CCOs) are required to submit Health IT (HIT) Roadmaps to OHA outlining their strategies for accomplishing Health IT goals. In the four major sections of the Roadmap, CCOs describe how they will support their contracted physical, behavioral, and oral health providers with:

• Electronic health record (EHR) adoption and use,
• Health information exchange (HIE) for care coordination,
• HIE for hospital event notifications, and
• Health IT to support social determinants of Health (SDOH) needs.
