US Government Exploring Health and Identity Information Ecologies

It's satisfying to see that since IFTF's recently released 2008-2009 research: Health and Health Care 2020 Perspective Report, containing my own short discussions of Health and Identity Information Ecologies, that many of these early themes are extended and expanded in two recent reports and policy recommendations from President Obama's Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST):

Realizing the Full Potential of Health Information Technology [.pdf]

and

National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace [.pdf]

Both reports are quite impressive works for both their scope and depth on these complex interlocking topics. Highly recommended to Health IT researchers and planners.
