Benefits of Membership
Join
a unique, neutral forum that represents the interests of the
many sectors of the healthcare community
NCHICA members represent: hospitals and clinics;
medical practices; professional societies and nonprofit associations;
national, state and local health agencies; health plans; law
firms; healthcare and IT consulting firms/vendors; health
education and training providers; and research organizations.
There are few organizations in the country that bring together
such diverse members of the healthcare community.
Become a part of a nationally recognized,
credible organization
NCHICA's involvement in the Nationwide Health Information Network
(NwHIN) and the Health Information Security & Privacy Collaboration
(HISPC) projects, along with its exemplary work on the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), have made it a national resource
for health information exchange and HIPAA compliance information.
Address
common problems and work toward solutions
Why work alone or
"re-invent the wheel" when you can work with your
peers? NCHICA provides a unique opportunity for members to
meet on a regular basis with others who do the same job and
share the same day-to-day concerns. The Privacy & Security
Officials Workgroup, the Transactions, Code Sets & Identifiers
Workgroup, and the CIO Roundtable are just a few examples
of active workgroups.
Make
a difference and drive change in the healthcare industry
NCHICA's
committees, workgroups and task forces are involved in numerous
activities to accelerate the adoption of information technology
and enabling policies.
Network
with your peers and gain professional development
Only
employees of NCHICA member organizations can participate in
NCHICA's committees, task forces and workgroups. Meetings
