US health, tech officials to launch data-sharing plan
Briefly

Top Trump administration health officials plan to host tech company executives to promote a framework enhancing health-care data sharing. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and CMS Administrator Mehmet Oz will facilitate an event this week to unveil this initiative, following previous efforts to address barriers in data sharing. The initiative builds on CMS’s public input solicited in May and aims to create a more efficient health care system through interoperability and private-sector innovation.
"This initiative aims to build a smarter, more secure, and more personalized health care system - one that improves patient outcomes, reduces provider burden, and drives greater value through private-sector innovation and aligned federal leadership," CMS spokesperson Catherine Howden said in a written statement.
The plan was developed in coordination with the White House, building on a May effort by CMS to get public input on addressing barriers to sharing patient data.
