Great meeting with Amy Costello and Jo Porter.<\/p>\n
This team have led the charge on freeing data to improve trasparency and accountability in the US health system.<\/p>\n
Academic but with a strong, pragmatic approach.<\/p>\n
Main obstacle to progress has been clinician objection and payer ambivalence\/resistance despite mandates to release data.<\/p>\n
