Join the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) for a virtual event focused on patient access to health data. This event will bring together patients, providers, payers, and health IT developers to discuss how HHS policies are working in practice and how to maximize the impact of these policies. The event will also highlight educational tools and resources, such as patient-facing apps that enable the availability of patient information and make health information easier to understand.
Participants will learn more about:
- Patients’ experiences accessing their data, including the benefits and challenges they faced along this journey.
- How the next generation of apps are connecting across new health information sources to bring together patients’ data and preferred tools to act on that data.
- Clinicians who are at the forefront of helping patients access and understand their data, recognizing patient preferences and privacy concerns.
- Innovative developers demonstrating how they are making patients’ data actionable, and the implementation challenges they face as they connect sources across the care continuum.
- Health care payers’ successes and challenges with making data available to patients.
