Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Seeks Public Input on Improving Technology to Empower Medicare Beneficiaries

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, in partnership with the Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy/Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, is seeking public input on how best to advance a seamless, secure, and patient-centered digital health infrastructure. The request for information invites input from patients, caregivers, providers, payers, technology developers, and other stakeholders on how CMS and ASTP/ONC can: 

• Drive the development and adoption of digital health management and care navigation applications;
• Strengthen interoperability and secure access to health data through open, standards-based technologies;
• Identify barriers preventing the seamless exchange of health information across systems; and
• Reduce administrative burden while accelerating progress toward value-based, patient-centered care.
