The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the crucial importance of data in monitoring and protecting public health. It also highlighted how far we have yet to go to appropriately leverage data for that purpose. As we have seen throughout the pandemic, the fragmented data infrastructure in the U.S. can stymie effective systemic responses and harm individual patients.
Fragmentation and a lack of uniform standards limit the ability of patients to control their data, entrepreneurs to develop tech solutions, and governments to respond nimbly to population health needs.
