“These gaps create barriers for realizing the full potential of the All of Us data to advance research, but we’re committed to addressing these challenges,” Lunt continued…
“All of Us is looking to pioneer new uses and approaches for health information exchanges that build off of the successes seen in clinical care and public health surveillance,” said Lunt. “In doing so, we hope to create a roadmap that other research programs can build on.”… Read the full article here.
