Draft

2. Introduction
This report is the work product of a special OSEHRA Work Group chartered to describe the community’s vision of a future healthcare IT ecosystem. Healthcare providers face multiple short and long term challenges in both clinical care and informatics. Current commercial IT solutions cannot keep pace with medical innovation, and lack the interoperability required to leverage informatics and big data analysis. This vision is predicated upon the Department of Veterans Affairs continuing its leadership in healthcare IT as the nation’s largest provider. It includes five key aspects that would ensure effective healthcare delivery, security, and continued rapid innovation. The envisioned ecosystem would become a national resource for both the Government’s major providers (VA, IHS) as well as private sector.
