Health Data Consortium Information

The Health Data Consortium (HDC) sits at the intersection of health data, innovation and public policy. HDC is a public-private consortium focused on promoting the accessibility, availability and responsible use of health data and encourages collaboration among health data users and stakeholders to ignite innovation, drive down rising health care costs and improve patient outcomes. We bring together a diverse group of stakeholders including patient advocates, providers, researchers, industry representatives, innovators, and policymakers to advance the national dialogue surrounding the key barriers and opportunities in using health data. Since its formation, HDC has focused on a number of important cultural, technical, and public policy issues concerning health data, including data governance, data accessibility, privacy and security and consumer engagement.
