Georgia Health Information Technology & Transparency Advisory Board

On October 17, 2006, Governor Sonny Perdue issued an executive order creating the Health Information Technology and Transparency (HITT) Advisory Board.  The Board will advise DCH on the best practices for encouraging the use of electronic health records and establishing a statewide strategy to enable health information to be readily available and transparent.  DCH goals for HIT in Georgia are to enable the understandable, universal, timely and secure communication of health information across the public and private sectors for the benefit of today's health care consumer.

Mission Statement
