Health Information Technology Oversight Council (HITOC)

The Health Information Technology Oversight Council is comprised of 11-15 members appointed by the Oregon Health Policy Board. Members represent the public and private sectors, reflecting the geographic diversity of Oregon, and include health care consumers, providers, and privacy and information technology experts. The Heath Information Technology Oversight Council is guided by Oregon’s Strategic Plan for HIT and HIE. This plan outlines three goals to achieve HIT-optimized health care in Oregon. These goals will inform the policy recommendations made by the council and its committees and work groups. The Council plays a key role in defining the strategic direction and priority of HIT efforts in Oregon including services offered by the Oregon Health Information Technology Program. The Council is responsible for reporting on the progress of these and other Health IT efforts in the state to the Policy Board.
