Using Data to Support Better Health Care:
One Infrastructure with Many Uses—-Dec 2, 2009 Webcast
McClellan Chairs Panel with Blumenthal, Clancy, Woodcock
“On December 2, (2009) the Engelberg Center for Health Care Reform at Brookings will host a forum (and Webcast) to outline a vision and practical next steps toward a health information infrastructure that could quickly and efficiently generate evidence for health care decision-makers.” The session will be chaired by Mark B. McClellan, physician and economist, who is director of the Engleburg Center at Brooking Institute and former head of FDA and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
A “proof of concept panel” on “Learning from Health Care Databases” will be followed by a panel on “HHS (US Department of Health and Human Services) Role in Creating a Learning Health Care System.”
The learning panel will include leaders in healthcare data: Alan Garber of Stanford Unniversity School of Medicine, L. Allen Dobson Jr. of Carolinas Healthcare System, and Richard Platt of Harvard Medical School.
The HHS panel will include directors of three HHS agencies: David Blumenthal as National Coordinator of Health IT, Carolyn Clancy of Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and Janet Woodcok of Center for Drug Evaluation and Research at FDA.
