HIMSS’ final ask of state/local/provincial governments is for states continue to supercharge their community-based health IT infrastructure by creating and utilizing integrated, community-based data hubs (or open-data portals) with real-time dashboards and shared analytics to combat the opioid epidemic. The use of these platforms supports deeper collaboration across state agencies, local health departments, hospitals, emergency responders, law enforcement and behavioral health agencies. 

Healthcare data breaches have increased 70 percent between 2010 and 2017, according to a new report published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
