About HITOC
The Health Information Technology Oversight Council is comprised of 11-15 members appointed by the Oregon Health Policy Board. HITOC members represent a broad range of partners that are impacted health IT, including but not limited to:
- Individuals (consumers/patients)
- Providers and clinic staff
- The Nine Federally Recognized Tribes of Oregon
- Community-based organizations (CBOs)
- Hospitals
- Health systems
- Coordinated care organizations (CCOs) and health insurance plans
- Technology partners
- State agencies
HITOC members represent organizations that use a wide array of health IT tools and systems, and HITOC strives to represent the diversity of people living in Oregon.
The committee is guided by Oregon's Strategic Plan for Health Information Technology 2024-2028. In the Strategic Plan, HITOC identified four long-term goals for health IT in Oregon:
- People can be actively involved in their care through access to health IT.
- Individuals' information is electronically available and exchanged securely and seamlessly.
- Health IT supports efficient and accurate data collection, sharing, and use.
- Health IT design, implementation, and use must center health equity.
The Strategic Plan provides high-level priorities, guidance, and direction for health IT over the next five years. It outlines the overall vision and the focus areas for partners across the health IT landscape in Oregon and for the work of the committee. HITOC is responsible for reporting on the progress of these and other Health IT efforts in the state to the Oregon Health Policy Board.
