Held by the Privacy and Security Tiger Team, the meeting will be a discussion about technologies that enable consumers to choose whether or not to share their information in a health information exchange. The morning session will be devoted to hearing testimony from current users of these technologies, followed by developer demonstrations.

The afternoon session will feature testimony and demonstrations by developers of "cutting edge" technologies that may, in the future, be useful in the clinical care setting. After both sessions, a panel of experts will ask questions of the presenters. The Tiger Team will also have time to ask questions of the presenters and the experts. The hearing is open to the public, and there will be time in both the morning and afternoon for public testimony and questions. A preliminary agenda (subject to change) and Web registration form are available on the hearing Web site.
