Health information technology has emerged as a key building block of the nation's health reform agenda. Since 2006, New York State has invested more than $450 million to develop a robust health information infrastructure. This investment has been deployed through several rounds of competitive grant funding that emphasizes community-level multi-stakeholder engagement and participation, strategic health priorities tied to clinical and community needs, and a commitment to utilizing common policies that ensure standardization across disparate systems.
This session will feature presentations on the overall state health information technology strategy, as well as two innovative community models that have leveraged state programs and advanced healthcare transformation.
This program is sponsored by the Philanthropy New York Health Policy Working Group.
