Building a Modern Health Care System: Recommendations from the COVID-19 Federal Policy Work Group
October 8, 2020
This whitepaper highlights recommendations from eHI's COVID-19 Federal Policy Work Group and endorsed by leading health care and digital health organizations.
Formed in April 2020, eHI’s COVID-19 Federal Policy Work Group met over the course of four months to help craft a report with a set of policy recommendations to fully leverage health IT and digital health to fight COVID-19 and future public health challenges. The group focused on five issue areas: (1) telehealth and remote patient monitoring; (2) artificial intelligence and machine learning; (3) broadband; (4) health information exchange; and (5) public health surveillance, and ultimately produced consensus policy recommendations in each area.
