"The most impressive part of Markle Connecting for Health to me is how it helps people to listen and learn from the projects and points of view of others. There is an enormous amount of public and private activity today in health information technology and data aggregation and analysis. It's very easy for projects to go their own way, without coordinating or learning from other initiatives working with similar problems. We are relatively new to the Connecting for Health work, but see that the Common Framework is a model that has benefited from a wide range of inputs and needs. I am most enthusiastic and encouraged that these issues are being raised to the consciousness of the public, health community and policy makers. I look forward to being an active participant as the Common Framework evolves to increasingly achieve the population health goals we share with so many of our colleagues around the table."
