The NQF Board of Directors approved the creation of HITAC, charging the body with:
- developing a strategic plan and providing ongoing guidance for NQF’s HIT portfolio;
- offering input on HIT projects, such as maintenance of the Quality Data Set and specification of testing requirements for eMeasures;
- reviewing electronic specifications for NQF-endorsed® and candidate standards; and
- making recommendations on the endorsement and maintenance of HIT-related consensus standards.
HITAC is a standing committee of the NQF Board of Directors and includes non-voting federal liaisons from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Indian Health Service, the Office of the National Coordinator for HIT, and the Veterans Health Administration. Members of HITAC are eligible to serve three-year terms. To stagger the future appointment cycle, inaugural HITAC members will serve one-, two-, or three-year terms.
