The Physician Data Initiative: Establishing the Foundations for Collaborative Data Sharing - December 5

The ability to positively impact the health care workforce and its ability to address emerging health care challenge for all people, data collaboration and sharing is the most effective way to identify and maintain a diverse, well-prepared healthcare workforce. Since no one organization has all of the necessary or optimum data; collaboration and data sharing are the most effective ways to enable research and continuous process improvement across the continuum of a medical professional’s career. Past attempts across medical education to create a technical solution to bring the data together have not been successful and cost precious time and money. The Physicians Data Initiative (AAMC, ACGME and AMA) have worked for several years to identify and eliminate the barriers to effective data access for research. The intent of this session is to provide an approach that could help organizations understand the hierarchy of needs for effective data sharing. Many of which require changes in culture, compliance infrastructure, and collaboration on data standards to enable a successful implementation of technology solutions for better access to data.

Participants in this webinar will learn about the Physicians Data Initiative, its collaborative approach to building data standards, the importance of standardizing data to enable data sharing and hear about two newly released standards.
