Panel: Breaking down information silos: Beyond meaningful use
The ability to share research and clinical data is a cornerstone of the drive for new cures. The success of promising national priorities depends on our ability to share the Big Data locked in existing large databases. Yet after billions of dollars of investment by the public and private sectors focused on adoption, the interoperability of health data systems lags far behind. Congress and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT recently identified active information blocking as a significant issue, in addition to well-recognized challenges with standards and incentives. How are we going to be able to break down information silos and create the free flow of patient data that will improve care and outcomes and facilitate research?
