On Monday, March 25, 2013, ONC, in collaboration with Cornell University, launched a new web platform for obtaining public input to inform health IT strategic planning. Check out the new PlanningRoom site, and provide your thoughts.

ONCs initial focus is on consumer eHealth. To encourage public input to inform the consumer eHealth strategy, ONC is partnering with Cornell University’s eRulemaking Initiative – an academic research group working with Federal agencies to increase public participation in government decision-making.

You can visit PlanningRoom now through May 9, 2013, to participate in discussions and provide comments on specific topics. The site includes discussion topics and questions to help guide the conversation.

I visited the site and left a few comments. It’s well organized and easy to use. I recommend that you all visit and comment.
