The Food and Drug Administration Safety Innovation Act Workgroup, authorized under a law of the same name, will advise the FDA, Federal Communications Commission and Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, reporting through the HIT Policy Committee that advises federal officials.
The workgroup will focus on safety risks--and likelihood--that may be posed by health I.T., factors to be included in a risk-based regulatory approach, and approaches to avoid duplicative or overlapping regulatory requirements. Its first meeting is scheduled on April 29.
