Subcommittee Charge
In 2007, the National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics (NCVHS) was asked by the HHS Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) to develop a conceptual and policy framework to balance the benefits, sensitivities, obligations, and protections of what has typically been referred to as “secondary uses” of health data, including for quality and research uses. An ad hoc Workgroup on Secondary Uses of Health Data was convened by the Committee to carry out this work.
