5. Why Was the Health Informatics Initiative Created?
“Transforming Healthcare Delivery through Health Informatics” (Health Informatics Initiative or hi2) was created by Secretary Shinseki in May 2010 with these missions:
Assist with VHA’s transition from a medical model of care to a patient-centered model of care;
Build a sustainable collaborative between the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and the VA Office of Information and Technology (OIT); and
Cultivate and invest in the VA workforce.
