Presenters: Charles Jaffe, Bob Dolin, Others

The simple unambiguous sharing of healthcare data is insufficient to meet the needs of our delivery systems if we are to improve quality and reduce costs. Exchange must support the reuse of data for a broad range of purposes, including quality evaluation, decision support, clinical research, primary medical science application, public health, and comparative effectiveness. The standards needed to support these goals must rapidly evolve despite an environment constrained by the limited availability of resources, by government regulation and by a rapidly evolving knowledge base. Standards development and the organizations that provide those standards are applying innovative approaches to achieving those demands.
