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. 

This session will review the OpenSCAP compliance as code offering and how to automate your compliance posture using best practices from Red Hat's healthcare customers.
