The American Health Information Community (AHIC) is a federal advisory body, chartered in 2005 to make recommendations to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on how to accelerate the development and adoption of health information technology.
AHIC was formed by the Secretary to help advance efforts to achieve President Bush’s goal for most Americans to have access to secure electronic health records by 2014.
Plans are now underway to transition the AHIC to a public-private partnership based in the private sector.

Since its formation, the AHIC identified four initial areas with potential for early breakthroughs in the advancement of standards that will lead to interoperability. The AHIC organized four workgroups to pursue recommendations in these areas, and delivered their first set of recommendations to the Secretary in May of 2006.
Three additional workgroups have since been formed to address a wider range of issues, and these workgroups are expected to deliver recommendations to the Secretary in 2007.
The American Health Information Community (AHIC) will begin a new phase of activity to transition AHIC to the private sector.
