Regional Health Information Organization (RHIO) Workshop Announcement
The Government Information Technology Agency (GITA) plans to conduct Regional
Health Information Organization (RHIO) workshops in January 2008. Information
gathered at these meetings will inform the 2008 Rural Health Information
Technology Adoption (RHITA) Grant Program.
The goal of these workshops is threefold:
• To gather various constituent groups (physicians, hospitals, labs, specialized
health care providers, public health officials, support groups, consumers, etc.)
for an open and free exchange of information and ideas about RHIOs.
• To facilitate group discussions that integrate knowledge and differing points
of view into a collective guiding force for rural Arizona communities interested
in forming or participating in a RHIO.
• To identify and consider the unique needs, perceptions and challenges faced by
Arizona rural healthcare providers as they seek to exchange electronic health
care information.
Seven workshops are planned for 3:00 to 7:00 PM, with light food service
provided to attendees.
