Considerations for Health Information Systems Targeted to Citizens

Health data and information are increasingly available to citizens. Yet accessing, understanding, and putting this information to use remains challenging for many people. Join us to review some important considerations for optimizing health information systems (HISs) for citizens, including:

  1. The concept of Digital Health Literacy
  2. Aligning the needs and capabilities of citizens with the demands of HISs
  3. Applying usability methods to improve HISs for citizens
