Ensuring that federally funded health research keeps pace with the explosion of health data depends on better information technology (IT), access to high-quality electronic health data, and supportive policies. Because it prominently funds and conducts health research, the U.S. federal government needs health IT to rapidly evolve and has the ability to drive that evolution. The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology developed the National Health IT Priorities for Research: A Policy and Development Agenda (the Agenda) that identifies health IT priorities for research in consultation with relevant federal agencies. This article describes support for the Agenda from the Food and Drug Administration, the National Institutes of Health, and the Veterans Health Administration. Advancing the Agenda will benefit these agencies and support their missions as well as the entire ecosystem leveraging the health IT infrastructure or using data from health IT systems for research.
确保联邦资助的健康研究跟上健康数据的爆炸式增长，取决于更好的信息技术（IT）、获取高质量电子健康数据的机会和支持性政策。由于美国联邦政府显著资助和开展健康研究，因此需要健康 IT 快速发展，并有能力推动这种发展。国家卫生信息技术协调员办公室制定了国家健康信息技术研究优先事项：政策和发展议程（议程），该议程在与相关联邦机构协商的基础上确定了健康信息技术研究的优先事项。本文描述了食品和药物管理局、美国国立卫生研究院和退伍军人健康管理局对该议程的支持。推进该议程将使这些机构受益，并支持其使命，以及整个利用健康信息技术基础设施或使用健康信息技术系统数据进行研究的生态系统。
