Line 1:
My name is Tom Fields and I am currently employed as a Digital Media Manager at [[Westat]]. I have worked on several healthcare and education projects including the [[Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality]] (AHRQ) Health Care Innovations Exchange, the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) program, the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study that is being co-directed by the [[Food and Drug Administration]] (FDA) and the [[National Institutes of Health]] (NIH), the IDEA Data Center which is funded by the U.S. Department of Education’s [[Office of Special Education Programs]], and several [[Center for Disease Control and Prevention]] (CDC) projects.
 
I am interested in sharing government health data that is public domain material to increase efficiency and reduce disparities in health care and education. I want to be able to post this content in accordance with Wikipedia guidelines and am happy to work with other editors. Any suggestions regarding my edits are appreciated. I have access to about 800 health care innovation profiles that can be used to improve articles about hospitals, health care organizations, health care procedures, telemedicine, EMRs, FQHCs, etc. I see great value in making this material available on open source platforms like Widipedia. On that note, I am very interested in finding out more about DBPedia. It might make sense to post the entire collection there and update it every two weeks as new issues are produced.
