What common goals do these organizations have ONC, NHIN, RHIOs, HIEs, RECs, ACOs and CCHIT

1. Expand adoption of health IT. This includes increasing adoption, effective use of IT products and services, as well as increasing user and market confidence and “advancing a national communications infrastructure that supports health, safety, and care delivery.”

2. Advance secure and interoperable health information. ONC intends to achieve this goal by enabling individuals, providers, and public health entities to not only exchange but also use health data. It will require identifying, prioritizing and advancing technical standards for exchange and data privacy.

3. Strengthen health care delivery. This is where the focus on quality, access and safety come into the fore by supporting the delivery of high-value care that ultimately bolster clinical services and population health.

4. Advance the health and well being of individuals and communities. ONC, for this goal, said it aims to “empower individual, family and caregiver health management and engagement,” while also promoting public health to build resilient communities.

5. Advance research, scientific knowledge and innovation. The three pieces of this puzzle: increasing access to usable high-quality electronic health data, accelerating commercialization and development of innovative tools, and investing and disseminating research demonstrating how providers can harness health IT to improve care delivery.
