How Open Data Can Improve America's Health
summary
HHS publishes machine‑readable community health datasets (smoking and obesity rates, liquor stores per 10,000, Medicare/FDA/CDC vault data) and convenes a 445‑person public‑private workshop that generates ~20 app ideas; volunteers build over a dozen apps in 90 days. The campaign—branded Community Health Data Initiative—turns datasets into web‑service plans for a December 2010 Health Data Warehouse and promises a public unveiling of the first apps on June 2.
