Health IT Strategy and Innovation Workgroup

The Health IT Strategic Planning and Innovation Workgroup will provide input and make recommendations on policy issues and opportunities for future topical areas for the Health IT Policy Committee. It will consider trends and how existing policy may evolve to support innovation. The Workgroup will initially provide input into the revised Federal Health IT Strategic Plan and discuss a national agenda for leveraging health IT to support a learning health system. This Workgroup will look further into the future than other workgroups and make recommendations to ensure that policy development enables market innovation and considers market failures. The workgroup will also provide input on milestones and evaluation against these. Examples of issues that the Workgroup may consider include, but are not limited to, the use of non-traditional information in health and health care decisions, such as wellness data and information on social determinants of health, and issues related to big data and data analytics.
