Indiana University’s Response to House Energy and Commerce Committee Request for Suggestions: 21st Century Cures: Leveraging Technology to Accelerate the #Path2Cures

Abstract
Indiana University embraces and supports the goals set out in the House Energy and Commerce Committee white paper “21st Century Cures: A Call to Action.” The state of Indiana, through collaborative efforts led by Indiana University, provides a model that can be adopted throughout the US. The combination of willingness to collaborate across public/private boundaries, a high performance network, and a cyberinfrastructure suitable for research using private and protected health records, is enabling the state of Indiana to accelerate new discoveries and their rapid translation into everyday medical practice and improved quality of life. Similar collaborations in other states and between states across the country would accelerate the delivery of medical breakthroughs and improve healthcare delivery and lower costs across the country.
