SUMMARY: The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA)
established the Health Information Technology Policy Committee (Health
IT Policy Committee) and gave the Comptroller General responsibility
for appointing 13 of its 20 members. ARRA requires that: One member
should have expertise with improving the health of vulnerable
populations and one member should represent information technology
vendors. Due to the completion of terms in April 2014 by committee
members filing these requirements GAO is accepting nominations of
individuals to fill these positions. In addition, ARRA requires that
three members should be advocates for patients or consumers and one
committee member in this category will be completing their term in
April 2014. GAO is also accepting nominations of individuals to fill
this position. For these appointments I am announcing the following:
Letters of nomination and resumes should be submitted between January 2
and 24, 2014 to ensure adequate opportunity for review and
consideration of nominees.
