An Overview and Update of the American Health Information Community (AHIC) "Road Map"
AHIC: On September 13, 2005, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Michael O. Leavitt announced the membership for the American Health Information Community . The Community was formed to help advance efforts to reach President Bush’s call for most Americans to have electronic health records within ten years. The Community is a federally-chartered advisory committee and provides input and recommendations to HHS on how to make health records digital and interoperable, and assure that the privacy and security of those records are protected, in a smooth, market-led way.
The discussion will provide an overview, and updates of the related work groups. Presented by Dr. Steven J. Steindel from the CDC.

BioSense: A National Program designed to improve the nation's capabilities for real-time biosurveillance and situational awareness
BioSense: BioSense is the national program designed to improve the nation's capabilities for real-time biosurveillance and situational awareness at a time when the vast number of health-related information systems that exist nationally vary in their ability to share data to support immediate biosurveillance needs. By providing access to data from hospitals and healthcare systems in major metropolitan cities across the nation, BioSense is connecting existing health information to public health in a way not previously possible. It is providing the immediate, constant, and comparable information needed to inform local, state, and national public health and to support national preparedness.
The discussion will provide an overview, and updates of the related work groups. Presented by Lynn Steele, MS,CIC from the CDC.
