Federal health IT policy will continuously target solutions that improve health and care quality, efficiency, safety, affordability, equity, effectiveness, and access.ValueQualityEfficiencySafetyAffordabilityEquityEffectivenessAccessPerson-CentricityBe person-centered. Federal policies and activities support the accessibility and use of electronic health information by individuals, caregivers, providers, and researchers across products and organizations, in a timely and reliable way that protects personal privacy and upholds individual autonomy.AccessibilityPrivacyAutonomyRespectRespect individual preferences. Person-centered care embraces the values of the individual inside and outside the health system, where all entities honor individuals' personal health goals, needs, values, culture, and choices regarding their information, health, and care.IndividualityCultureBuild a culture of electronic health information access and use. Federal actions will help establish an environment where secure universal health information exchange and use are expected and accepted so that everyone benefits from simple, timely, equitable, efficient, and appropriate electronic access to and sharing of health information.UniversalitySimplicityTimelinessEquitabilityEfficiencyLearningCreate an environment of continuous learning and improvement. Federal policies and actions seek to strengthen feedback loops between scientific and health care communities to translate evidence into clinical practice and other settings, and learn how to perform better.Continuous ImprovementFeedbackEvidenceInnovationEncourage innovation and competition. The government's policies, guidance, and programs will support continued innovation and competition in the health IT marketplace to foster highly useful health IT solutions that lead to better health and care.CompetitionStewardshipBe a responsible steward of the country's money and trust. The government seeks to use its resources judiciously. This means relying to the extent possible on private markets to accomplish important societal objectives, and acting to correct market failures when necessary. It also means developing health IT policies through open, transparent, and accountable processes.OpennessTransparencyAccountability ManagementAdvance Person-Centered and Self-Managed
