Two quick notes:

HHS kicks off $5M ‘i2′ Health IT app development program – contracts awarded for this, more innovation opportunities looking to:

  • Allow an individual to securely and effectively share health information with members of his or her social network.
  • Provide patients, caregivers and/or clinicians access to rigorous and relevant information that can support real needs and immediate decisions.
  • Allow individuals to connect during natural disasters and other periods of emergency.
  • Facilitate exchange of health information while allowing individuals to customize the privacy allowances for their personal health records.
