Y'all! It's National #HealthDataWeek: a time to spotlight the issues and innovations shaping the future of health data.

I’m proud to be part of a team that’s leaning into some of the most important and complex questions in health data policy today, from privacy to interoperability to AI.

Reflecting back on my compliance career, I think my greatest professional failure was presenting this HIPAA training slide to dozens of individuals and not a *single* person picked up on the bit.

I’m sorry, Joey Jo-Jo.

NEW from @politico.com:

For those of us living and breathing in the regulatory space, this would allow congress to conduct "batch" CRA rollbacks rather than the current process of individual Congressional Review Act resolutions.

I do not believe this is correct. All versions still contain patient demographics that include Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity. This is V2

I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but the elements are all still there, for each version?

The #HITAC Health Equity by Design Task Force has been scrubbed from the HITAC landing page.

Also, not a major surprise.

Scope, pasted here from the archive. Had some incredible leadership and members.
