CancerX, a part of the Biden administration’s Cancer Moonshot program, will work with the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology and the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health to tackle disparities and financial toxicity in cancer care and research, according to a March 28 release from the Digital Medicine Society.
“One of the greatest challenges to leveraging new digital innovation in cancer care is the complexity of the data required to make smart decisions quickly,” said Micky Tripathi, PhD, national coordinator for health information technology. “As our ability to effectively and efficiently access and interpret data from multiple streams has matured, we have an unprecedented opportunity for innovators and new innovations to contribute to achieving our Cancer Moonshot goals.”
The Cancer Moonshot program, launched in 2016, aims to reduce cancer deaths by 50 percent over the next 25 years and improve the experience of living with and surviving cancer.
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.
