NeHC is now accepting nominations for the 2012 NeHC Board of Directors.
National eHealth Collaborative (NeHC), a public-private partnership that enables secure and interoperable nationwide health information exchange to advance health and improve healthcare, today looked to their many stakeholders for recommendations on who should be asked to join the NeHC Board of Directors.
“National eHealth Collaborative’s neutrality and diverse multi-stakeholder participation provides a unique platform for collaboration in our industry. As a forum for broad stakeholder engagement in developing real-world solutions that identify and address gaps and barriers to widespread health information exchange, NeHC clearly helps to drive progress in support of our collective goals for transformative change. It will be critical that new Board members are enthusiastic about NeHC’s mission and goals so they can actively work to grow and develop NeHC as a strong representative for its diverse stakeholder base,” said NeHC Nominations Committee Chair Janet Corrigan, PhD, President and CEO of the National Quality Forum.
“In 2011, NeHC has educated, connected, and encouraged healthcare stakeholders to advance health information technology and health information exchange nationwide through its NeHC University web-based education program, its Consumer Consortium on eHealth, its support of the Nationwide Health Information Network Exchange, its new Collaborate online community and its ongoing study of leading health information exchanges. In 2012, NeHC will do even more in pursuit of its ultimate vision: a transformed U.S. healthcare system that ranks #1 worldwide in health and healthcare through innovative access, sharing and use of health information in every community and across the nation. I look forward to continuing to work with all of NeHC’s leadership to make this vision a reality,” said NeHC CEO Kate Berry.
