Chronic Care Workgroup

The American Health Information Community (the Community) recommended that chronic care management be an important priority for its attention. Therefore, a workgroup was formed to facilitate chronic care monitoring and improved chronic care delivery. The Community further recommended that this workgroup develop a plan to realize a specific charge (widespread use of secure messaging) within one year, which is visible to the American public and works towards a broader charge (remote monitoring) over time. The meetings of this workgroup are public and meeting materials are available to the public.

Charges will help the Community make recommendations based on the most complete information.

Broad Charge for the Workgroup:

Make recommendations to the Community to deploy widely available, secure technologies solutions for remote monitoring and assessment of patients and for communication between clinicians about patients.

Specific Charge for the Workgroup:

Make recommendations to the Community so that within one year, widespread use of secure messaging, as appropriate, is fostered as a means of communication between clinicians and patients about care delivery.
