From the National Health Information Infrastructure (NHII) legislation of the 1990s to current day Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) legislation and the health information technology, the NHII continues to evolve, but at a more rapid pace. Part of that evolution has included not only the public and private health infrastructure development between the health providers, CDC, and the states but also many nongovernment partners, such as the commercial MEDLINE Plus, the Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research (AHQR), and many more. Consider the NHII’s evolution and its achievements over the last two decades and share your understanding of its many components and how they work together to provide greater access to health information. How is that information used to build healthier communities What are the key drivers in the evolution of the NHII? How do you envision the NHII will evolve and function in the coming years?
