Slide notes:The HITECH program funded four Strategic Healthcare IT Advanced Research Projects (SHARP). One of these projects, called SHARPS (sharp- ess ), focused on security issues in four environments: electronic health records (EHRs), health information exchanges (HIEs), personal health records (PHRs), and telemedicine. The information developed from this effort is available at www.sharps.org. ONC provides many resources that have been developed for providers. They are available at https://www.healthit.gov/policy-researchers-implementers/clinical-quality-measures. We have discussed NIST and its role in ongoing research. There are many other public and private organizations and government efforts that focus on privacy and security across the country. 18
