Markle Connecting for Health
Connecting for Health’s recommendations have been incorporated in health IT regulations implementing the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Advancing Health in a Connected World
Markle’s work in health focuses on advancing health information technology to improve people’s lives. Best practices must improve health, protect privacy, increase cost-effectiveness, and encourage innovation.
New alliance plans to build, certify, and deploy a national infrastructure for health information sharing that leverages the Markle Common Framework.
Markle Director Jill Schulmann will attend the 2012 Consumer Health IT Summit, at which video will be shown highlighting the blue button download capability.
To help consumers, providers, insurers and other health data holders see how providing the ability for people to download their health records can improve health and health care, the Markle Foundation today released a new video showing the power of blue button technology.
"We were fortunate to have access to early copies of the model contract and those shaped the MidSouth eHealth Alliance's approach to drafting data sharing agreements."
