Finding the data resources to solve problems in health and health care is a typical first step innovators take to creating tools, apps, and services.  The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has a vast array of data resources that many developers are now using to create them.  However, it is often difficult and time consuming to match data resources with the potential users.

We’re Launching HHS’ New Open Government Plan, Version 2.0

As originally posted April 9, 2012.

Today marks the two year anniversary of when HHS launched its first ever Open Government plan, which guided our efforts to make government more transparent, participatory, and collaborative. Over the last several months, the Department of Health and Human Services advanced new ideas and initiatives that will take HHS’s Open Government commitment to the President’s objectives to a new level. The result is our new Version 2.0 of the HHS Open Government plan. There are several new initiatives about which I’d like you to know. I encourage you to see the many ways we are focused on open government principles.
