For Personalized HealthcareIn January 2007, the American Health Information Community (AHIC) approved a recommendation to develop the Personalized Healthcare Use Case that addresses cross cutting AHIC priorities. AHIC is a federally-chartered advisory committee and provides input and recommendations to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on how to make health records digital and interoperable, and assure that the privacy and security of those records are protected, in a smooth, market-led way. This use case has been developed by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), with opportunities for review and feedback by interested stakeholders within both the public and private sectors. To facilitate this process, the use case was developed in two stages:
