Nursing Homes, others) Healthcare Vendors (Siemens, Cerner, McKesson, IBM) Health Plans Industry Consortia (Foundation for eHealth Initiative) One ultimate goal, supported by stakeholders, focuses on the creation of an interconnected, electronic health information infrastructure, which creates the basis for a National Healthcare Information Highway Healthcare Collaborative Network (HCN) Solution Enables rapid detection and response to adverse healthcare events including bio- surveillance Creates lower cost capabilities for collecting, aggregating, analyzing and reporting clinical information at near real time Establishes a common electronic healthcare information highway that supports government, non-profit, and private industry needs Federal Agencies (DOD, Homeland Defense, CDC, CMS, FDA)
