HHS has put out a draft 6-year plan to further computerize healthcare. Please leave a comment!
My ramblings:
Just going out on a limb here, but.... perhaps patient access and job satisfaction might improve without "more than 25 federal organizations that regulate, purchase, develop, and use health IT to help deliver care and improve patient health"?
Free people tend to resent others micromanaging their lives. Personally, I think federal mandates for electronic health records (EHR) have done enough damage already.

Draft 2024-2030 Federal Health IT Strategic Plan
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC), released the draft 2024-2030 Federal Health IT Strategic Plan for public comment. The draft plan was developed in collaboration with more than 25 federal organizations that regulate, purchase, develop, and use health IT to help deliver care and improve patient health.

The draft plan defines a set of goals, objectives, and strategies the federal government will pursue to improve health experiences and outcomes for individuals, populations, and communities while also promoting opportunities for improving health equity, advancing scientific discovery and innovation, and modernizing the nation’s public health infrastructure. The draft plan also places an emphasis on addressing the policy and technology components essential for securely catering to the diverse data requirements of all health IT users.
The final 2024-2030 strategic plan will serve as a roadmap for federal agencies and a catalyst for alignment outside the federal government. Federal organizations will be able to utilize the final plan to prioritize resources, align and coordinate efforts across agencies, signal priorities to the private sector, and benchmark and assess progress over time.
ONC encourages review and comments on the draft plan. Please submit your comments via our feedback form. Attachments should be in Microsoft Word, Excel, PPT, or Adobe PDF format. The comment period is open for 60 days and the deadline for submission is May 28, 2024 at 11:59:59 PM ET.
