Registration Open

As a key element of the national health information technology strategy, the advancement of the Nationwide Health Information Network initiative will provide the foundation for interoperable, secure and standards-based health information exchange nationally.

The Third Nationwide Health Information Network forum will showcase the work of the four NHIN Consortia by providing an opportunity to see actual demonstrations of health information exchange prototypes. The forum will also include presentations and discussion on different approaches to business models that target establishing self sustaining health information service providers and exchange. The forum will include plenary presentations, demonstrations sessions and panel presentations with discussion.

The Third Nationwide Health Information Network forum will be open to the public and include participants in key processes supported by the Office for the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (including the four consortia developing prototype Nationwide Health Information Network architectures, key representatives from other public, private, and non-profit health information technology stakeholders.)
