Breaking Through the Data Dams

Breaking Through the Data Dams is modeled after the Office of the National Coordinator’s Draft Trusted Exchange Framework to empower patients and provide a baseline of healthcare interoperability. They also call out data dams, highlighting the need to safely access, use, or control high volumes of sensitive data.

Four primary goals of the ONC are included and provide a brief summary of today’s current environment, a real-life example, and the corresponding data dams/blockages to the free flow of sensitive data. Lastly, this document includes how the TNAP provides core features that address each of these challenge areas. These include:

Goal 1: Empower Individuals

Goal 2: Enable Providers and Communities

Goal 3: Public and Population Health

Goal 4: Open and Accessible APIs
