Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC)

Consolidated Health Informatics Initiative (CHI) - The goal of CHI is to establish federal health information interoperability standards as the basis for electronic health data transfer in all activities and projects and among all agencies and departments. The first phase involved establishing a set of existing clinical vocabularies and messaging standards enabling federal agencies to build interoperable federal health data systems.

Federal Health Architecture (FHA) - TheFHA program will define an overarching framework and methodology that allows initiatives throughout several federal agencies to proceed coherently, establishing the target and standards for interoperability and communication that will unify the federal health community. The FHA will establish a government-wide road map to achieve the federal health community's mission through optimal performance of its core business processes within an efficient IT environment.
