Informatics Strategic Taskforce is a group that has 3 meeting per year.
Suzanne Rastrick Chief AHP officer is current chair and the group is

use of informatics in integrated care settings
·
Developing
Prosthetic & Orthotic specific definitions for findings/assessment,
diagnosis, interventions, and outcomes
