The Federal Health IT Strategic Plan was released in March 2011 and it states that it will strive to:
Support health information technology (heath IT) benefits for all. All Americans should have equal access to quality health care. This includes the benefits conferred by health IT.: The government will endeavor to assure that underserved and at-risk individuals enjoy these benefits to the same extent as all other citizens.
A draft set of strategies and tactics have been released and the federal Health IT Disparities Workgroup is seeking public comment. You can read more here and follow the links to comment on their work so far, and what you think the federal government should be doing to reduce health IT disparities.
