Welcome to the official HHS, Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) for Health Information Technology Google+ page. 

We are focused on raising awareness about the importance of health information technology (health IT) and electronic health records (EHRs) for both providers and patients. We want to start and build a dialogue between users, advocates and the curious about what exactly Health IT is and how it can lead to safer, better, and more efficient health care. We also will point you towards the right resources whether you are a provider looking to reach attestation or a patient or family member looking to get the latest information on electronic health records.

We hope you use this page as an informational tool, as well as a space to interact and meet others interested in the subject of Health IT. We also encourage you to visit our official website at: www.HealthIT.gov.
