Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Director Don Rucker highlighted the role that health information exchange (HIE) will play in the future of health care delivery, particularly in relation to the Cures Act Final Rule ONC released this spring and the public health needs of COVID-19.

The biggest roadblock to developing a strong cybersecurity posture at federal agencies isn’t resources or talent — it’s complacency.

For many federal agencies, teleworking presents a unique cybersecurity challenge: suddenly thousands of employees are using home Wi-Fi networks and personal devices to work, and sometimes view classified information, potentially opening up their department’s network up to cyber criminals and nation-state actors.

National Institutes of Standards and Technology's new guidelines for granting secure verification to government workers who manage protected information will allow federal employees who work with classified data to be granted access more easily amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

A new executive order from the White House is pushing to expand telehealth coverage and infrastructure, as well as make health care in rural communities more accessible beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.

A digital platform intended to guide government and businesses through tailored reopening processes allowed the state of Rhode Island to quickly set up future reopening protocols in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic may have shut down swaths of the economy, but law enforcement agencies are obligated to keep operating at full capacity. When those agencies shifted to telework in March, they had to make a series of quick, careful decisions about their IT to make sure they had the data they needed, when they needed it.

The Department of Veterans Affairs has recently launched a new feature of its VEText application to maintain COVID-19 security and protect veterans from viral contact while using VA facilities.

The House Oversight and Reform Committee found for the first time that all agencies in its FITARA oversight received passing scores, according to the committee’s 10th biannual FITARA review.

Federal agencies face considerable difficulties with data insights, especially with workforce shortages and budget constraints. Some teams around government found ways to navigate it all and, in turn, create beneficial experiences for its workforce.

While the 2020 election already dominates news headlines, another major event coming in 2020 has largely flown under the radar — the largest data collection ever in U.S. history. It’s the 2020 census.

Container technology — developing and packaging software with all of its related components so that it has a standardized deployment across all systems and servers — is not a new concept in IT, but has recently gained broad traction across enterprises in both the public and private sector.
