High Value Health IT: Policy Reforms for Better Care and Lower Costs

Current federal policy, including ONC’s MU program, have led to significant progress on health IT adoption amongst providers and hospitals. However, there is concern within the health care community that existing health IT policy may fail to incent and even hinder health IT innovations and evolution necessary to enable a value-based payment system. Our policy recommendations should enable more progress in achieving an adaptable health IT infrastructure by helping existing policy transition from one that is too narrow and prescriptive to one that can give MU more practical meaning that resonates with providers and patients by more directly supporting improved outcomes, administrative efficiency, and value.

whitePaper | September 22, 2022

Last year, the UK Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) published its 10- year National AI Strategy for the regulation and promotion of artificial intelligence (AI) in the UK (Report).

Some key examples (and their latest status) are summarised below, including a policy paper and white paper on a pro-innovation national position on governing and regulating AI, an Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) consultation on the beta version of its AI and data protection risk toolkit, and a consultation on copyright and patents for AI through the UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO).
