implementation of the Administrative Simplification provisions of HIPAA 
and ACA.
    The purpose of this meeting is for the Standards Subcommittee to 
gain a clear understanding of the current update and adoption process 
for standards and operating rules for electronic administrative 
transactions (e.g. claims, eligibility, electronic funds transfer) with 
invited representatives of the Standards Development Organizations: 
X12, HL7, NCPDP \1\ and NACHA,\2\ the Operating Rule Authoring Entity, 
CAQH CORE,\3\ and Health and Human Services (HHS). The objectives of 
convening this workgroup specifically are to: (1) Gain a clear 
understanding of the procedures and processes each organization follows 
to update the standards and operating rules; (2) understand challenges 
with the current update and adoption process; (3) understand what 
options are available through the regulatory process for a more 
predictable schedule for the adoption of updated standards and 
operating rules; and (4) obtain recommendations for improvements to the 
update and adoption process. The findings will be used to inform 
development of a future NCVHS hearing to gather additional input from 
HIPAA-covered entities and their business associates for the purpose of 
making recommendations to the Secretary of HHS. There will be time at 
the end of the day for public comment.
