leadership for the strategic development and nationwide
implementation for interoperable health information technology
(health IT) by 2014.

The previous collections under
this program were used to develop and analyze a model privacy
notice for Personal Health Records (PHRs). The model privacy notice
for PHRs that resulted was voluntarily adopted by several PHR
vendors. Due to the success of this information collection, we are
proposing to revise the program to use the same focus group and
cognitive usability interview testing process for the development
of an improved notice of privacy practices.
