One of the 5 key objectives was designing information technology that serves the patient, family, and interprofessional care team. The committee defined high-quality primary care as the provision of whole person, integrated, accessible, and equitable healthcare by interprofessional teams who are accountable for addressing most of an individual’s health across settings and through sustained relationships. The committee recommended 2 essential actions for digital health. The first action is developing the next phase of digital health certification standards that support relationship-based, continuous, person-centered care; simplify user experience; ensure equitable access; and hold vendors accountable. Second, the committee recommended adopting a comprehensive aggregate patient data system usable by any certified digital health tool. This article reviews primary care’s digital health needs and describes successful digital health for primary care.
