OMB To Grade OPM on its Compliance with the HIT Executive Order

GCN.com reports that the Office of Management and Budget plans to grade OPM on how well the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program provides heath care quality and pricing information to FEHB plan members under the President's August 21, 2006, Executive Order. Karen Evans, OMB’s administrator for e-government and ITtold GCN.com that “We will use a scorecard-like approach, starting in our June 30 President’s Management Agenda scorecard, to measure their progress against price and transparency in using health IT.” The Defense Department, the Veterans Affairs Department, and the Health and Human Services Department also will receive a report card.
