House committee seeks feedback on digital healthcare
The House Energy and Commerce Committee is seeking comment on its newly released white paper, which is part of its 21st Century Cures initiative that explores how advances in technology can accelerate the discovery, development and delivery cycle.
The committee specifically is requesting feedback on how to improve the entire digital healthcare landscape, how communications technologies can be used throughout the cycle of cures to improve patient care, and what role Congress can play in this process, according to the committee’s release.
“Digital technology has remarkable potential to bring our healthcare system into the 21st century and beyond. As we work toward a path to cures, we must always be improving and evolving, embracing the technologies of today as we pursue the treatments for tomorrow,” said Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI) in a statement.
The committee is accepting feedback at [email protected] until July 22.
