How to Prepare for the Next Health Crisis? Epic, Teladoc and Others Have Ideas

A coalition of more than 100 healthcare stakeholders released a report this week outlining policy and regulatory recommendations to improve the country's response to future health crises.

The collaboration, which was convened by the Health Leadership Council and the Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy, included private-sector, nonprofit and government organizations.   

Its report focused on actions that could be taken to improve data and evidence generation; strengthen innovation and supply chain readiness; and innovate care delivery approaches.   

"In each area, the report outlines key actions private sector leaders can commit to accomplishing together and identifies recommended actions for public sector leaders to improve coordination and collaborations for public health emergencies," wrote the report authors.
