The Supply & Demand for Patient Data

Healthcare’s next wave of innovation depends on rebalancing the supply and demand for patient data. A handful of systems and vendors still control most health information, limiting the flow of insights that could drive AI, analytics, and patient-centered care. To unlock progress, the industry must move beyond compliance and truly embrace interoperability, ending information blocking and holding all players to the same standards of data access, transparency, and accountability. When data providers honor their commitments and patients can freely direct their own information, healthcare shifts from a closed ecosystem to an open, innovation-ready network where value comes not from hoarding data, but from how effectively it’s used to improve outcomes.
