3 Global Health IT Takeaways You Need to Know – Reflections from ONC 3rd Interoperability Forum

The Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) engages in several global health IT projects from a United States government perspective. ONC works with global counterparts to share experiences, and ensure alignment between global interoperability efforts and the United States’ approaches to interoperability. This includes working through worldwide partnerships, bi-lateral and multi-lateral engagements, global networks, and memoranda of understanding. Through these engagements, we focus on advancing common health data standards for global interoperability, enhancing individuals’ access to their data, progressing healthcare providers’ experiences, and improving factors associated with transparency and competition.

This past summer, ONC hosted the 3rd Interoperability Forum in Washington DC, where we heard from several global health IT leaders who are working on similar health IT issues in their own countries. This post highlights the insights and resources these leaders provided during the Forum, and is not inclusive of ONC’s complete global health IT efforts.
