| 5 Min Read

CHICAGO — A new collaborative initiative founded by the American Medical Association (AMA) announced today it is working to unleash a new era of better, more effective patient care by introducing a data evolution for improving, organizing and sharing health care information.

The Integrated Health Model Initiative (IHMI) is a platform for bringing together the health and technology sectors around a common data model that is missing in health care. IHMI fills the national imperative to pioneer a shared framework for organizing health data, emphasizing patient centric information, and refining data elements to those most predictive of achieving better outcomes. Evolving available health data to depict a complete picture of a patient’s journey from wellness to illness to treatment and beyond allows health care delivery to fully focus on patient outcomes, goals and wellness.
