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
partnersgovernment and the health care sectorit 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.
