Established by the Interoperability Matters Leadership Council, the Consumer Engagement Strategy Workgroup will develop strategies to meet consumer needs.
The Consumer Engagement Strategy Workgroup will gain an understanding of consumer experiences, priorities, and recommendations; and develop short and long-term cross-industry strategies for meeting consumer needs. The recommended strategies will be provided to the Interoperability Matters Leadership Council and Sequoia Board.
Review, evaluate and translate the Consumer Voices Workgroup recommendations into cross-industry strategies to advance consumer engagement, access education, and related policy change.
The Sequoia Project identified two consumer engagement goals: listening to consumers and acting on what we heard.
This group is open to all members of The Sequoia Project. The goal of the group is to:
All of my health information is readily accessible to me and my caregivers in one place when I need it.
All of my data is readily accessible to all of my care team through their EHR, regardless of their practice affiliation.
I can understand my data and health information makes sense to me.
I understand my rights to data access, how and by whom my data is used and can advocate for myself and others.
Goal: Patients facing a health crisis know how to access their data, who to contact if they can’t and where to report violations of their data access rights.
Drive industry-wide excellence in notifying patients of their data access rights
Create materials that can be adopted by industry and advocacy groups about data access rights
Actively promote and incentivize adoption of data rights awareness
Develop industry-wide “best practices” and recommendations for providing readily accessible and obvious information to consumers about their rights to access their data
Develop industry “pledge” to adopt recommended best practices
Create tool kit with informational and digital assets that can be adopted by industry and placed where patients can find them in their time of need
Create recommendation to ASTP/ONC to require placement of information in obvious, accessible location in EHR for all certified HIT
