Karen DeSalvo recently announced some changes to the ONC leadership structure. This isn’t surprising since it often happens when there’s a leadership change. Here’s a look at the new ONC leadership organization:
Office of Care Transformation: Kelly Cronin
Office of the Chief Privacy Officer: Joy Pritts
Office of the Chief Operating Officer: Lisa Lewis
Office of the Chief Scientist: Doug Fridsma, MD, PhD
Office of Clinical Quality and Safety: Judy Murphy, RN
Office of Planning, Evaluation, and Analysis: Seth Pazinski
Office of Policy: Jodi Daniel
Office of Programs: Kim Lynch
Office of Public Affairs and Communications: Nora Super
Office of Standards and Technology: Steve Posnack
Each of these leaders will report directly to the Immediate Office of the National Coordinator, which includes Jacob Reider, MD and Karen DeSalvo.
I asked HHS for a short description of what each “Office” will oversee and do. Turns out that they posted the details to the Federal Register. Makes you wonder what else is in the Federal Register that never sees the light of day.
