Collaboration Plans

Regional health information organizations (RHIOs) continue to struggle with governance and sustainability issues but have not yet given up the ghost. New RHIOs continue to form and the most progressive RHIOs are being more aggressive with providing new services.

All of the new (and most of the not-all-that-new) ideas for RHIO services involve providing data-based services rather than messaging. We think that this approach — moving up the value chain — will be fruitful for the RHIOs that can successfully package, price and deliver these new services.

The challenge, as always, will be to incorporate these new services into existing provider workflows.

The unique charm of Wisconsin, and Madison in particular, makes it a truly outstanding conference with a myriad of learning opportunities.
