Stakeholders at Odds Over DeSalvo's Departure, Future of Health IT
Tuesday, October 28, 2014
Health IT stakeholders appear split on how former National Coordinator for Health IT Karen DeSalvo's departure will affect future health IT initiatives, FierceHealthIT reports (Bowman, FierceHealthIT, 10/24).
ONC's Staffing Changes
Last week, DeSalvo announced that she would leave her post to serve as acting HHS assistant secretary for health, effective immediately, where she will lead HHS' Ebola response team.
Lisa Lewis, ONC's COO, has become acting National Coordinator for Health IT, and DeSalvo will continue to support ONC's work in her new role.
Meanwhile, Deputy National Coordinator for Health IT Jacob Reider also announced he would be leaving ONC in late November, after three years at the office.
DeSalvo and Reider's departures add to a growing list of top ONC officials who have left the agency in recent months.
