Farzad Mostashari, MD, visiting fellow, Brookings Institution, former national coordinator for health information technology (HIT), US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), discusses a recent conversation he heard at a HIMSS conference in Orlando, Florida. Kathleen Sebelius, HHS Secretary, asked what can be done to spark innovation. Dr Mostashari notes that a CEO answered, “We’re already doing it.
