CHA is pleased to join with other leading hospital associations in today’s release of Sharing Data, Saving Lives: The Hospital Agenda for Interoperability. The report expresses a shared commitment and vision for achieving interoperability among health information systems, working with policymakers and other stakeholders.

“Truly patient centered health care means coordinating services all across the continuum of care. To do that, we need information systems that give both patients and care providers access to all the patient’s health records and data. Patients, consumers and providers need to know their data is private, secure and available to achieve high quality care outcomes,” said Sr. Carol Keehan, President and CEO.

The contributors to this report include: America’s Essential Hospitals, American Hospital Association, Association of American Medical Colleges, Catholic Health Association of the United States, Children’s Hospital Association, Federation of American Hospitals and the National Association for Behavioral Healthcare.
