The American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) support health IT testing in the field, but is urging the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to initially use a limited scope for in the field testing to ensure the future success of the CDC’s National Test Collaborative (NTC).
The CDC is seeking input on the development of a national testbed (the National Test Collaborative) for real-world testing of health IT that enables improved delivery of best evidence to health care providers at the point of care as well as facilitates data created in the course of care provision to be available for appropriate research and public health purposes.
