HEALTH NEWS: Data Altruism — Kaiser Permanente Participates in IOM Discussion Paper
A recent discussion paper, presented by participants of the Institute of Medicine Evidence Communication Innovation Collaborative (ECIC), found that 94 percent of U.S. adult social media users with health conditions agreed with the use of their health data – shared anonymously – to help clinicians improve care. ECIC is co-chaired by Bill Novelli and Kaiser Permanente’s former CEO, George Halvorson.
