In its first decade of operations, oversight and guidance from community stakeholders have been essential to the success of Health Current, formerly Arizona Health-e Connection (AzHeC). Since 2015 after AzHeC and Health Information of Arizona merged, health information exchange (HIE) operations have been guided by the Network Leadership Council (NLC) which has served as a standing advisory council to the Board of Directors. As the organization has grown, the need for stakeholder input has grown as well. That is why Health Current’s three-year strategic plan called for sunsetting the NLC and creating three advisory councils of the Board of Directors:
- Clinical Advisory Council
- Data Governance Council
- Privacy and Security Council
After a robust application and nomination process, the Board of Directors appointed members to these advisory councils at their meeting on March 28, 2017. A list of the newly appointed advisory council members is available here.
