Business Intelligence and DSS HealthIT

Bringing Together Health Information Technology and Business Intelligence

	This webpage is intended to provide you with an overview of the many Health Information Technology (HealthIT) initiatives underway. Our goal is to keep information on this site current so all stakeholders are informed about current endeavors, as well as planned HealthIT initiatives. Our primary goal in the HealthIT arena is to adopt and advance the use of national standards that support secure data exchanges and enhance interoperability across health care organizations.
