The report, Data for Individual Health, was done in collaboration with the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and the ONC with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, according to a RWJF blog post.
It builds on JASON’s 2013 report, Robust Health Data Infrastructure, on health IT that described the principles of a health information technology ecosystem that would open entrepreneurial opportunities in pursuit of faster progress in the health IT sector.
“Population health research and community engagement are not adequately connected. A ‘Learning Health System’ would connect the medical system with broader societal inputs, creating important links between health and wellness and health care. This concept highlights natural roles for EHRs and PHRs, but also points to a level of data access, integration, and scalability that goes will beyond the interoperability of EHR systems,” the report notes.
