The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC), released the 2024-2030 Federal Health IT Strategic Plan (the Plan) in September 2024. The Plan was developed in collaboration with more than 25 federal organizations that regulate, purchase, develop, and use health IT to help deliver care and improve patient health and was informed by public comment.

The Plan defines a set of goals, objectives, and strategies the federal government will pursue to improve health experiences and outcomes for individuals, populations, and communities while also promoting opportunities for improving health equity, advancing scientific discovery and innovation, and modernizing the nation’s public health infrastructure. The Plan also places an emphasis on addressing the policy and technology components essential for securely catering to the diverse data requirements of all health IT users.
The Plan will serve as a roadmap for federal agencies and a catalyst for alignment outside the federal government. Federal organizations will be able to utilize the final plan to prioritize resources, align and coordinate efforts across agencies, signal priorities to the private sector, and benchmark and assess progress over time.
Nearly 70 submissions provided public comment on the draft Plan and can be reviewed here.
