APsaA involved in shaping new HIT/Privacy Bill
On September 15, the House Ways and Means Health Subcommittee introduced the Health-e Information Technology Act of 2008 (H.R. 6898). This bill is a significantly revised version of the PRO(TECH)T Act of 2008 (H.R. 6357) reported out of the House Energy and Commerce Committee in July. APsaA representatives were consulted by Health Subcommittee staff on several occasions and submitted detailed legal and policy analyses and suggestions regarding the bill.
