Which position was established by the 2004 executive order?

• A. Privacy Officer
• B. National Health Information Technology Coordinator
• C. Chief Medical Officer
• D. Health Information Privacy Board

Answer: (B)

Executive Order 13335 in 2004 created the National Health Information Technology Coordinator—the federal role charged with coordinating health IT activities across agencies and steering a nationwide strategy for adopting health information technology, including interoperability and privacy/security. That direct creation is what makes this the best answer. The Privacy Officer, Chief Medical Officer, and Health Information Privacy Board are important roles but were not established by that 2004 order; they appear in various contexts within health care governance, not as the specific federal post created by that executive order.
