HDU 201—Health Data Utilities from a Federal to Primary Care Perspective
Description
The health care landscape is undergoing a digital transformation, with Health Data Utilities (HDUs) emerging as a powerful tool for improving care delivery. HDUs offer significant advantages over traditional Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) by enabling:
1. Enhanced Interoperability: Seamless data sharing across social, physical, and behavioral health domains, creating a more holistic view of patient well-being.
2. Focus on Equity: Initiatives that address disparities in access to care and ensure all communities, from rural to urban, benefit from HDUs.
3. Public Health Impact: HDUs can support public health interventions by providing valuable data insights to promote population health and well-being.
This session will explore how HDUs can revolutionize health care delivery by fostering a more holistic, whole-person view of patients. We will discuss how the Federal government and many state governments have embraced HDUs. HDUs can empower public health initiatives and ensure equitable access to these benefits for all.
