ASTP, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is helping to transform the nation’s healthcare system through policies, programs, and investments. Our vision is “better health enabled by data,” which means all our work helps to advance the use and sharing of electronic health information to improve healthcare outcomes.
Created by executive order in 2004, we have made big strides in improving health care through market-shifting policies and initiatives that have dramatically changed how we share and use health information.
To help make an impact on health care through technology, come work at ASTP! We seek to attract and develop skilled professionals in the standards, technology, policy, and healthcare fields. As a relatively young agency, we value a flexible and high-performing culture that welcomes new ideas and perspectives. Our strength is our willingness to take on big challenges through innovation and resourcefulness.
