Connecting for Health

Connecting for Health was a public-private initiative in the United States aimed at improving health information technology. It sought to create a nationwide health information network to enable secure sharing of patients' medical data among healthcare providers. The goal was to enhance patient care, reduce costs, and promote efficiency by allowing access to vital health records whenever needed. This initiative laid the groundwork for the implementation of electronic health records (EHRs) and encouraged the adoption of technology in healthcare to improve outcomes and streamline communication within the medical community.
