NAM report covers COVID-19 lessons learned

The National Academy of Medicine (NAM) this month released a special publication, Emerging Stronger from COVID-19: Priorities for Health System Transformation. The report seeks to “capitalize on the hard-won lessons of COVID-19” and build a health care system that centers on patients, families and communities; cares for clinicians; supports care systems; and applies innovations from digital health and quality, safety and standards organizations. The report lists 10 priorities, including centering health system actions and accountability on individuals, families and communities; committing to equity as core to health system performance; building a robust and integrated digital health and data-sharing infrastructure; integrating telehealth into payment and delivery systems; and investing in workforce capacity and readiness.
