Abstract: The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology's (ONC) Office of Economic Analysis, Evaluation, and Modeling in the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) requests Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to conduct a national survey of clinical laboratories to assess laboratory information exchange capacity, as part of the evaluation of the State Health Information Exchange (HIE) Cooperative Agreement Program. The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act of 2009 seeks to improve American health care delivery and patient care through an unprecedented investment in health information technology. ONC is the chief federal entity charged with coordinating nationwide efforts to implement a health IT infrastructure to enable the electronic use and exchange of health information.
