The Department of Health and Human Services has released its 2024–2030 Federal Health IT Strategic Plan, or PDFin, finalizing the goals and focus uses for U.S. health information technology.
The 33-page PDFin calls for health IT and electronic data deployment to achieve four goals, including accelerating research and innovation, the HHS said Monday.
The roadmap also calls for health IT and technology to drive health and wellness promotion, enhance care delivery and experience, and establish health system connection with health data.
The HHS Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy/Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, or ASTP, collaborated with over 25 federal agencies to develop the strategic plan and requested industry feedback after publishing it in March.
Micky Tripathi, assistant secretary for technology policy and national coordinator for health information technology, said the plan’s strategies “signal priorities to industry,” describing PDFin as “a guide” on prioritizing HHS resources, aligning and coordinating federal health IT initiatives and activities.
