In case you missed it, Health Datapalooza happened toward the end of February. The aptly named conference always invokes a bit of fun while at the same time being a high octane mix of data scientists, policy makers, health care leaders, entrepreneurs, researchers, and patient advocates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now over a decade old, Health Datapalooza is part of the \u201cearly season\u201d of health conferences and is often a launch point for new products, prize competitions, program announcements, and collaborations. I\u2019ve also found it to be a great opportunity for our staff to engage directly with colleagues out in the field and to hear their perspectives firsthand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ONC was out and about, including a keynote by the national coordinator, Micky Tripathi, who talked about ONC\u2019s implementation of the 21st<\/sup> Century Cures Act, the progress we\u2019ve made on the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA), and what\u2019s to come as we look ahead in 2023 and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along those lines, and since I know everyone loves a recap, we thought our readers might appreciate a comprehensive, but non-exhaustive list of all the key happenings in one place. So here\u2019s a quick look at the health IT and interoperability actions, updates, and shoutouts that happened this year around Health Datapalooza! (Author\u2019s prerogative to start with the ONC stuff first.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
