January 25-26, 2007

Grand Hyatt Washington, 1000 H Street NW, Washington, D.C., USA 20001,

Tel: [phone]

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.)
