Council
on Clinical Information Technology
The Council on Clinical
Information Technology (COCIT), previously known as the Steering Committee
on Clinical Information Technology (SCOCIT), was established within
the American Academy of Pediatrics in 2002 by a merger of the Section
on Computers & Other Technologies and the Task Force on Medical
Informatics. The focus and unifying theme of COCIT is the application
of information technology to clinical pediatrics. COCIT has been carefully
structured to maintain the educational programs provided by an AAP Section
and the policy-writing arm of an AAP Committee, while linking policy
to education and implementation
