Proposed Project: Comprehensive 

Communication Campaign for HITECH 

Act—OMB No. 0990–NEW—Office 

National Coordinator for Health 

Information Technology (ONC). 

Abstract: As part of the Health 

Information Technology for Economic 

and Clinical Health Act (HITECH Act) of 

2009, ONC is proposing to conduct a 

nationwide communication campaign to 

meet the Congressional mandate to 

educate the public about privacy and 

security of electronically exchanged 

personal health information. ONC 

requires formative and process 

information about different segments of 

the public to conduct the campaign 

effectively. Data collection will occur 

continuously through the 24 months of 

the campaign. The data will be used to 

inform campaign strategies, messages, 

materials and Web sites. 

ONC is collaborating with the HHS 

Office of Civil Rights to oversee the 

education and communication 

activities. The purpose of the campaign 

is to reach consumers, patients and 

health care providers to: 

• Build approval for HIT adoption 

and meaningful use. 

• Increase patient and provider 

participation in electronic health 

information exchange. 

• Educate the public about the uses of 

personal health information and privacy 

and security protections available to 

them. 

• Generate participation in HITECH 

programs (e.g. loans, grants, and 

contracts). 

Electronic health information 

exchange promises an array of potential 

benefits for individuals and the U.S. 

health care system through improved 

health care quality, safety, and 

efficiency. At the same time, this 

environment also poses new challenges 

and opportunities for protecting health 

information. Health information 

technology and electronic health 

information exchange may also provide 

individuals with new, more effective 

methods to engage with their health care 

providers and affect how their health 

information may be exchanged.

days within the parameters established for 

one or more other classes of employees in the 

Special Exposure Cohort. 

This designation became effective on 

June 13, 2010, as provided for under 42
