<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=3 face="Bookman Old Style"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Bookman Old Style'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">HITOC has worked with many stakeholders during the planning process for health information exchange, but as part of the next phase it is essential to have a strong consumer voice at the table to provide strategy input and recommendations to HITOC as policies are being considered. <BR> <BR>To help facilitate regular input, HITOC has announced the formation of a Consumer Advisory Panel. Applications are now being accepted, with the initial round of applications being accepted through September 24. HITOC is planning on making initial appointments at its October meeting.<BR> <BR>The Consumer Advisory Panel will ensure that conversations about health information exchange in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">Oregon</st1:State></st1:place> have a strong patient-centric view. <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">Oregon</st1:State></st1:place>'s HIE vision is to have "Information, when and where it is needed, to improve health and health care," and for consumers to have control over their information through an opt-out consent model.<BR> <BR>I have attached a flyer with some additional information and background. You can find more information, including the application for the Consumer Advisory Panel, at <A title=http://www.oregon.gov/OHPPR/HITOC/Phase_1/Workgroups/WG_AP_Announcement.shtml href="http://www.oregon.gov/OHPPR/HITOC/Phase_1/Workgroups/WG_AP_Announcement.shtml">http://www.oregon.gov/OHPPR/HITOC/Phase_1/Workgroups/WG_AP_Announcement.shtml</A>.<BR> <BR>I hope that you will share this opportunity with members of your organization. HITOC is looking forward to appointing a strong group of consumers before the first meeting of the Consumer Advisory Panel in early November.<BR> <BR>Please let me know if you have any questions, or need additional information.<BR> <BR>Sincerely,<BR> <BR> <BR>Carol Robinson<BR> <BR></SPAN></FONT><FONT color=navy face=Calibri><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Calibri; COLOR: navy">Carol Robinson<BR>State Coordinator, Health Information Technology<BR>Director, Health Information Technology Oversight Council (HITOC)<BR><st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">1225 Ferry Street SE</st1:address></st1:Street><BR><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Salem</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">OR</st1:State> <st1:PostalCode w:st="on">97301</st1:PostalCode></st1:place><BR><A title=blocked::carol.robinson@state.or.us href="carol.robinson@state.or.us">carol.robinson@state.or.us</A></SPAN></FONT><FONT face="Bookman Old Style"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Bookman Old Style'"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
