The Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT will hold its sixth annual meeting May 31 – June 2 in Washington, D.C.

The Annual Meeting is an opportunity for a wide array of public and private sector partners to discuss ways to leverage health IT to achieve better care, smarter spending and healthier people, according to the agency.

This year's meeting is extended to a third day to devote one full day "to enable consumers to become partners in their health via healthcare through access to their health information and technology."
