HLC members and industry leaders produced a series of planned actions that will ensure improved sharing of and access to critical healthcare data during all types of public health emergencies including natural disasters, infectious disease outbreaks and cyber incidents. The steps being taken, they said, will reflect lessons learned during the recent COVID-19 pandemic.
The actions are part of an initiative undertaken by HLC, which was co-chaired by Dr. Brendan Carr, Chair of Emergency Medicine at the Mount Sinai Health System and Icahn School of Medicine, and Liz Porter, President of the Leidos Health Group.
