In the summer of 2009, PwC invited IT and strategy leaders from leading payer, provider and pharmaceutical companies to share how they have been using secondary health data in a one-day roundtable. This report consolidates the conversations that took place, and includes findings from a national industry poll PwC conducted on secondary health data in the spring of 2009. Our report calls for public-private collaboration and a government role in creating incentives for the private sector to collect, share and use health data; to establish standards; and to redefine technical architecture to ensure interoperability. It offers specific recommendations for providers, payers, and pharmaceutical companies to consider in leveraging electronic health data.
