Advancing Progress in Health and Human Services
Through Collaboration and Actionable Information-Sharing
Check out this YouTube video to get a sneak peek of what was discussed at the 2024 Healthcare Information Management Systems and Society (HIMSS) Consent Learning Lab. Stewards of Change Institute, in partnership with HIMSS and with funding from Intersystems Corporation and Robert Wood John Foundation, plans to release a meeting report of the event this summer containing guidance and actionable recommendations.
Project Unify is an advanced, cross-industry and cross-sector development project of Stewards of Change Institute and its National Interoperability Collaborative (NIC).
Our new report focuses on the nuts and bolts of improving consent, such as legal and technical issues.It also explains our open-source proof-of-concept initiative, the Consent Service Utility (CSU). Most importantly, it gives voice to “people with lived expertise,” those in underserved communities who stand to gain the most from progress.
The processes for obtaining, revoking and managing consent are still highly siloed and often paper-based. SOCI has decided to sharply focus its 2022 activities on bringing them into the 21st Century.
