Massachusetts Medical Society: The Promise and Pitfalls of Transforming Health Through Technology and Information

The Promise and Pitfalls of Transforming Health Through Technology and Information - Module 1

Advances in technology have changed the way people, health care providers, government and non-governmental organizations obtain, disseminate and process information. Moreover, the internet and social media has empowered individuals and clinicians to immediately access and share health information in their daily lives. The 14th Public Health Leadership Forum, The Promise and Pitfalls of Information and Technology in Public Health (held October 26, 2017), brought together policy leaders, researchers, and public health experts to explore the numerous opportunities and challenges of technology in public health and technology's role in improving population health.

Summarize the correlation between clinical and health policy
Explain how non-health sector data about the social determinants of health can be used to access community health needs and allocate resources
