The Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) has organized a workgroup (subcommittee) under the auspices of the HIT Policy Committee to move forward on a range of privacy and security issues. A new Privacy & Security Tiger Team (composed of members from the HITPC and the HITSC as well as NCVHS) will work over the next few months to address the requirements of HITECH and the needs of many new organizations created under that law. We expect the work of the Tiger Team to be completed by late fall 2010.
