Dear HIFA colleagues,
I came across another recent NEJM paper that is in alignment with HIFA’s goals.
The authors from the National Academy of Medicine address ‘Supporting Access to Reliable Health Information with Public–Private Collaboration’.
Please find extracts from the paper (link) below:
‘As the digital information environment continues to evolve, many Digital media and technology companies are seeking third-party input to improve their products and enhance public trust.
In turn, many scientific and public health organizations are looking for ways to share reliable information on critical topics with large audiences. Thoughtful, transparent collaboration — grounded in rigorous standards, strong governance, and clear conflict-of interest protections — could offer a pragmatic path forward for both types of parties.’
