Serving HHS has been a true honor. I recently accepted an offer to move back to the private sector. The CTO team that leads and supports our efforts is incredible. Thanks to @SecAzar and @DepSecHargan for your leadership and for supporting @HHSCTOOffice

Congratulations to Deven McGraw, Chief Regulatory Officer at Ciitizen, for winning the Data Impact Award at #hdpalooza 👏

[Ed Simcox @HHSCTO]

The Data Insights Initiative allows HHS to lift up research across the department. Ultimately the Data Insights Initiative is about liberating vast amounts of data to accurately inform decision making. #datainsights #hdpalooza

[Ed Simcox @HHSCTO]

At #hdpalooza I announced our new Data Insights Initiative to change how HHS shares, integrates and visualizes data. Learn more at our breakout session at 2:45pm today in Marquis Salon 12 @hdpalooza #datainsights

It was a pleasure to meet the @WhiteHouse Leadership Development Program fellows last week. These are some of the best and brightest leaders in government with an appetite for improving government through innovation.

[Ed Simcox @HHSCTO]

Organ transplant and dialysis reform is on the horizon. The Advancing American Kidney Health Executive Order is making these changes possible. Thank you for your leadership @SecAzar

"You get what you pay for, 80% of our people are on center based dialysis and we need to flip it. We want 80% of people getting home dialysis and donors." - @SecAzar #DayOne

I applaud @AHRQNews’ recognition of digital health as a major driver in improving healthcare. AHRQ has updated the name of its Division of Health Information Technology to the Division of Digital Healthcare Research. https://t.co/1yjbJPj4zb

It is bittersweet to announce that Mona Siddiqui is leaving HHS. While we will miss her greatly, she will continue to champion open data. Working with Mona has been a privilege. She leaves our data portfolio in a good place.

Honored to be part of this meeting yesterday. Enabling patient choice by giving patients access to ALL their health data is extremely important. @SecAzar thank you for your persistent leadership.

[Alex Azar @SecAzar]

Helping patients have easy access to their healthcare records is a big part of building a healthcare system that gives patients the control they want. At today’s roundtable we discussed some of the work we are doing to take on the status quo and empower patients.

[Ed Simcox @HHSCTO]

Looking back on 2019 I am wowed by all the tangible results the small but mighty @HHSCTOOffice has accomplished. Here's a look at what we've done over the past year. We have so much more planned for 2020 and beyond!
