What is the Connecting Communities Learning Forum format?

The format of the Connecting Communities Learning Forum will be highly interactive; participants will have many opportunities to talk with national experts in HIE and their peers, including representatives from communities that have successfully shifted away from paper record keeping. The Connecting Communities Learning Forum is a unique opportunity for practitioners and leaders in these collaboratives to identify common principles to advance their work, as well as strategies to tackle common issues--clinical, financial, legal, organizational, and technical.

The theme of the Connecting Communities Learning Forum will be eHealth Initiative's recently launched Connecting Communities Toolkit that is a structured, how-to synthesis of principles and tools designed to equip states, regions and local communities with the information and expertise to begin or advance health information exchange initiatives and organizations to drive improvements in healthcare. The Connecting Communities Toolkit offers insight into areas crucial to start-up and successful survival such as organization and governance, value creation and financing, practice transformation and quality, information-sharing policies, technical aspects and public policy and advocacy.
