Are we losing consumer voice in data sharing and integration efforts? Case Study: A Health Care for the Homeless program

Technological and scientific advances are now making it easier to create connected information systems and better integrate data across multiple sectors and agencies. These advancements hold great promise in our ability to improve access to care, achieve health equity, and lower health care costs with homeless individuals and families. However, these advancements also have the potential to alienate consumer voice if we are not intentional in keeping first-hand experience at the center of our efforts. Health care for the Homeless Network of King County will share relevant experiences from their recent community needs assessment.
