The ONC [Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology] Coordinated Federal Health Information Technology Strategic Plan: 2008-2012 – Using the Power of Information Technology to Transform Health and Care.

“The Plan has two goals, Patient-focused Health Care and Population Health, with four objectives under each goal. The themes of privacy and security, interoperability, IT adoption, and collaborative governance recur across the goals, but they apply in very different ways to health care and population health.”
