HIA promotes policies that reduce health care costs, improve health outcomes, simplify health care, improve efficiency, and accelerate innovation.
Working closely with Congress and the Administration, HIA’s team of policy experts works to ensure that the health care industry can adapt and improve using data and technology.
Artificial Intelligence
HIA is working to accelerate the use of AI throughout the health care system. Top issues include creating a true public-private partnership with federal agencies to share best practices; ensuring AI funding is a clear priority for federal health care programs; reducing by half, the time providers spend on administrative processes that add no value to the patient; streamlining work such as prior authorization, billing, coding, and data entry; and cutting regulatory burden and barriers to AI adoption.
Health Data
HIA promotes next-generation policy recommendations to improve data access, exchange, and effectively leveraging digital health technologies. Top issues include streamlining data sharing between patients and providers, including medical imaging and medical device data; working with HHS and Congress to ensure implementation of the 21st Century Cures Act; securing telehealth as a permanent option for patients in federal health programs; ensuring health data is both private and secure; and modernizing clinical trial recruitment and participation.
Redefining Federal Health IT Policy
HIA is working to redefine federal health IT policy to be market-driven, simplified, and supportive of workforce needs. Top issues include recasting HHS federal health technology policy with a market-driven approach; simplifying regulations and reducing overlapping authorities; and ensuring medical technology is designed to meet market needs, not to match regulatory compliance demands.
