A Fun Announcement - Data4Health

I have been named to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Data for Health advisory committee. The Data for Health initiative will explore how health information can be better harnessed to improve people’s lives. The initiative is led by a high-profile advisory committee, co-chaired by David Ross, ScD, director of the Public Health Informatics Institute, and Ivor Horn, MD, M.PH, pediatrician and health services researcher at Children’s National Medical Center. Data for Health will be hosting a series of events in five cities across the country with participation from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Committee members will hear from local leaders, consumers, and professionals from a wide range of sectors on what data is important to them, and how they might use it to help people lead healthier lives. The advisory committee will issue a report and recommendations in early 2015. Find out more: http://bit.ly/Data4Health
