The federal government's health information technology leader Farzad Mostashari made his final comments before a key policy committee, as the Office of the National Coordinator carries on the still evolving task of meaningful use. Mostashari, the fourth person to lead the Department of Health and Human Services' health IT office since 2004, said he had a "great appreciation" for the work of the federal Health IT Policy committee, for working out consensus among diverse technology, provider, insurance and consumer interests and producing a "roadmap that has proved remarkably robust."
