Strategic Initiatives The GITA SIU supports the design and deployment of strategic technology projects in Arizona state government. At the inception of an initiative, or at critical stages of a project, the SIU organizes and manages technical resources to create and deliver solutions. SIU Core Competencies
Current Projects: e-Health Rural Health Information Technology Adoption (RHITA) Grant Program
By executive order, Governor Napolitano requested that the State
formulate and implement a strategy to enable electronic data exchange
across health care consumers, payers, providers, consumers, researchers
and government agencies. On April 4, 2006, that strategy was introduced in the
form of the
Arizona Health-e Connection Roadmap. GITA was instrumental in
the creation of the roadmap and the Arizona Health-e Connection, a
non-profit organization formed in 2007 to provide governance for the
implementation of the recommendations in the roadmap. SIU now works in
close collaboration with the Arizona Health-e Connection organization
and manages the
Rural Health
Information Technology Adoption (RHITA) grant program funded to
support the implementation of healthcare information technology and
healthcare information exchange among rural healthcare providers. e-Health Health Information Security and Privacy Collaboration (HISPC) SIU also manages the HISPC Arizona Health Privacy Project which was first federally funded in 2006 to facilitate the sharing of electronic health records. GITA co-chairs a multi state collaborative to address the sharing of electronic health information across state lines, and serves on the National Cross-Collaborative Steering Committee for the HIPSC project.
Key Partners Arizona Health-e
Connection Efficiency Review
By executive order, the Governors Office of Efficiency Review was
formed in 2003 to coordinate and implement efficiencies in state
government operations. GITA provides support for Efficiency Review
initiatives by serving as Information Technology advisors and subject
matter experts on Implementation Teams and Working Groups. Currently,
SIU staff is engaged in efficiency reviews to implement web conferencing
and imaging across agency operations in the Executive Branch.
