The Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy Annual Meeting is back in Washington, DC on December 4-5, 2024.  Join us for two days of conversation, learning, and networking.  You'll hear about the key issues at the intersection of health care, public health, policymaking, and technology through a variety of keynote speakers and mainstage, breakout, and education sessions as we reflect on 20 years and look ahead to the future of better health enabled by health IT.

ASTP is the principal federal entity charged with coordination of nationwide efforts to implement and use the most advanced health information technology and the electronic exchange of health information. The position of National Coordinator was created in 2004, through an Executive Order, and legislatively mandated in the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH Act) of 2009.

Through its work, ASTP remains focused on two strategic objectives:

• Advancing the development and use of health IT capabilities; and
