Overview[]
Health.data.gov, a community at Data.gov, was launched in February 2011. It provides numerous health-related datasets, tools, and applications collected from many agencies, including information for non-experts. For instance, patients and consumers can retrieve the latest information about drug labeling and medication content. Health.data.gov’s “Insurance Finder” provides a customized menu of potential insurance choices based on a user’s answers to several simple questions. Information concerning leading health indicators is also available at Health.data.gov.
