The White House and Federal Communications Commission are both turning their attention to Health IT this week, calling for major reforms that would improve access to health records, medical information and treatment options.

On Friday, the White House put out a call to several agencies to select senior representatives who would participate in a government-wide task force to improve coordination of health IT. The representatives, coming from the OMB, Social Security Commission, Veterans Affairs, Defense, Agriculture and Commerce departments, will be announced by the end of the week.
