HIMSS and its community of digital health professionals have offered recommendations focused on two areas: immediate actions and longer-term plans on how to maximise the role of digital health in vaccine distribution and administration.
The digital health experts behind the COVID-19 policy recommendations include those working in public health, primary and secondary healthcare delivery, health information exchange, health IT software development and governmental agencies.
The recommendations build on the HIMSS COVID-19 Global Policy Call to Action, which calls on government, businesses, civil society leaders and elected officials to recognise the value of health information and technology during a health emergency.
