Community Health Data Initiative

Overview
The Community Health Data Initiative (CHDI) engages private and public players and promotes engagement by a broad range of organizations, from county health departments to patient advocacy groups to social media startups.

This strong beginning could be further enhanced by leveraging already available technical capabilities in new ways in a form of technical and social innovation. For example, moving beyond the integration of existing institutional data sets, the CHDI could create a channel for citizen participation and dissemination of citizen-generated data using mobile, social, and traditional web media.
