History

The first conference on Partnerships for Networked Health Information for the Public, held in Rancho Mirage, California, in May 1995, started the process of identifying parties who have an interest in networked health information.  In addition tothe more obvious partners—government and the health care sector—it brought together voluntary organizations that provide information and services in specific fields; community-based organizations that provide local access to information; public and medical libraries that serve the well and the ill, families, and caregivers; employers, insurers, and other organizations that promote wellness and wise medical consumerism; and electronic publishers, interactive applications developers, and telecommunications and computer companies that can create or deliver vital health information. The diversity of the presentations and participants revealed, or suggested, fruitful linkages across an array of boundaries.
