CMS is seeking public input on how digital technologies can “Make America Healthy Again.”
The agency is issuing a request for information, asking providers, payers, technology developers, patients and caregivers to weigh in through June 16.
“We are building a future where seniors and families have the digital tools they need at their fingertips — tools that help them make informed choices, manage chronic conditions, and stay healthy,” said Stephanie Carlton, CMS chief of staff and deputy administrator, in a May 13 news release. “The government must be a catalyst, not a barrier, to unleashing American innovation in healthcare.”
Specifically, CMS is asking how to:
— Boost the development and adoption of digital health management and care navigation tools.
— Grow interoperability and ensure secure access to health data.
— Reduce barriers that prevent the uninterrupted exchange of health information.
— Cut administrative burden and shift toward value-based care.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
