Public Policy Learning Lab: Improving Consent to Share Protected Data Across the Spectrum of Care

Stewards of Change Institute (SOCI), in partnership with HIMSS Government Relations and with funding from the State Health & Values Strategies Program, is enthusiastic about convening the first national policy-focused workshop to improve the management of informed consent across the spectrum of care.  

The primary goal of the workshop with HIMSS is to elevate the key policy considerations enabling and/or inhibiting Consent Management to drive national awareness, engagement and action in 2023 and beyond. The event will include an expert panel discussion, a keynote presentation and facilitated breakout discussions to share current and emerging knowledge, identify tangible resources (technical, legal, funding, governance, other), inform an ongoing learning agenda, and disseminate knowledge. Participants will include representatives from all levels of government, industry, associations, nonprofits, academia, foundations, and people with lived expertise.

One key outcome from the workshop will be to sustain focus and engagement on consent by forming a HIMSS-sponsored workgroup/committee to delve deeply into the various policy considerations and opportunities; publish and disseminate learning; highlight demonstration projects; and sustain a thoughtful focus on consent at this critical juncture in the evolution of the health- and social-care ecosystem.

A buffet lunch will be provided
