Health IT Policy
Robert Rudin, MS Candidate

Wednesday October 25th
32-261

Health IT has become a hot topic in politics with its mention in three consecutive State of the Union addresses and President Bush promising electronic medical records for all Americans by 2016. What is the federal government actually doing to advance Health IT? At this seminar presentation, you will see the big picture of Health IT policy development in Washington from the perspective of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the agency responsible for coordinating and overseeing the US federal government. Specific discussion includes several agencies? activities (DHHS, VA, DoD), standards development, certification activities, functional requirements for the Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN), debates about e-prescription requirements for controlled substances, tussle between the executive and legislative branch about changes to the Stark and Anti-kickback regulations, and inter-agency power struggles.

Bob Rudin was an Intern at the Office of Management and Budget, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Information Policy and Technology branch, working for the Desk Officer for the Department of Health and Human Services during the summer of 2006.
