President Obama’s proposed budget for 2014 contains numerous provisions that directly impact the collection, creation, and use of health information. The proposed budget includes $967.3 billion in outlays for the Department of Health and Human Services and makes legislative proposals that would save an estimated $361.1 billion (net) over ten years. In conjunction with the release of the President’s budget, HHS published an overview of the budget provisions for HHS, which provides more detail on how the Department would allocate its budget in FY 2014 and describes its ongoing progress in meeting specific program goals and legislative requirements.
