Member Orientation

Now that your organization has joined, let's get you started...

WEDI, the Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange, is named in HIPAA as a formal advisor to the Secretary of HHS and our core focus is on the business impact of health care IT and data exchange policy and standards.  The fellow members you can now network and collaborate with include health plans, providers, trade associations, standards development organizations, vendors, and federal and state government.

By bringing this broad group of stakeholders together, we are able to effectively assess proposed health IT policy and standards, analyze the challenges of implementing federal mandates, and share consensus-based feedback with HHS and its agencies to influence future policy and standards.

To help you get started, we've outlined some key details below. We’re excited to have YOU as part of the WEDI community. Let us know how we can help you make the most of your membership!
