Abstract

Objectives: (1) Describe the evolution of Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) into Health Data Utilities (HDUs); (2) Provide motivation for HDUs as a public strategic investment target.

Materials and methods: We examine trends in developing HIEs into HDUs and compare their criticality to that of the national highway system as an investment in the public good.

Results: We propose that investment in HDUs is essential for our nation's healthcare data ecosystem. This investment will address the increased need for healthcare delivery and public health data.

Discussion: HDUs can meet the current and future needs of healthcare delivery and public health surveillance. Their structure and capabilities will underpin their success to support data-driven decision-making.

Conclusion: Transforming HIEs into HDUs is essential to realizing the vision of a distributed and connected healthcare data system. Public funding is critical for this model's success, similar to the continued investment in the national highway system.

卫生数据的效用和作为国家资源的卫生信息交流的复兴。

目标：(1)描述卫生信息交换（HIEs）向卫生数据实用程序（hdu）的演变；(2)为hdu作为公共战略投资目标提供动力。材料和方法：我们研究了将HIEs发展为hdu的趋势，并将其与作为公共利益投资的国家公路系统的重要性进行了比较。结果：我们建议对hdu的投资对于我国的医疗保健数据生态系统至关重要。这项投资将满足对医疗保健服务和公共卫生数据日益增长的需求。讨论：hdu可以满足当前和未来医疗保健服务和公共卫生监测的需求。它们的结构和能力将巩固它们的成功，以支持数据驱动的决策。结论：将HIEs转换为hdu对于实现分布式和互联医疗数据系统的愿景至关重要。公共资金对这种模式的成功至关重要，类似于对国家高速公路系统的持续投资。
