FDA commissioner **Robert Califf** has laid out a six-part action plan to better leverage health technology, data, and capabilities to improve healthcare outcomes and equity. *GovCIO Media* [reports](https://governmentciomedia.com/fda-commissioner-makes-six-part-call-action-improve-health-care?ref=fdaweb.com) Califf said during the 4/4 Health Datapalooza that there is a need for private and public entities to work together to realign medical capabilities and the way they are strategized and used across society.

His action steps are: 

- create a better system of evidence generation for decision-making;
- revamp the public health information architecture;
- close the gap between FDA approval and the appropriate use of products and payments;
- aggregate available information in a way that supports consortia driven by patients, their families, caretakers, and clinicians;
- consciously create incentives that reduce some optimization and improve assessment of the impact of subsystems on overall outcomes for individuals and populations; and
- tackle misinformation and improve education about science.
