What our Members are saying about their Consortium Membership
Hospital CEOs
"Our hospital staff relies on the Consortium's comparative clinical data for monitoring -over many years- the needs of the Communities we serve! Your educational events are "a must" for learning about innovative uses of these data."
--Thomas Porter - President, Morton Hospital |
Our Medical Center staff have benefited from the Consortium's foresight in convening their counterparts to collaborate and share resources for HIPAA compliance and information technology. Soon, our physicians will also take advantage of Consortium efforts toward more comprehensive patient data."
--John O'Brien - CEO, UMass Memorial Medical Center |
"We participate actively in the Consortium's CIO, Security and Privacy Officers Forum. The solutions described by our colleagues re-enforce our systems' approach to open, standards-based technology to integrate our many enterprises-while protecting sensitive patient data.
--Mark R. Tolosky - President, Baystate Health System |
Member Decision Makers
"The Massachusetts Health Data Consortium's Focus of the Month program assembled an interdisciplinary group of health care providers, payers, risk managers, and attorneys. This made it possible for me to educate and interact with a diverse audience about the use of e-mail in patient care."
--Daniel Sands, MD - Clinical Director of Electronic Patient Records, CareGroup Healthcare System |
"The Visiting Nurse Associations of New England (VNANE) relies on the leadership and support of the Massachusetts Health Data Consortium as a
trusted convener of competing interests in the Massachusetts health care marketplace. In my experience as the CEO of VNANE, the MHDC provides health care providers, payers, and purchasers an "edge" rarely found in other states. They are an invaluable and trusted source of timely information, health care data and technical support, as well as the primary "sparkplug" for identifying and addressing issues that affect all producers and users of health care data in Massachusetts."
--Phil Magnusson - Chief Executive Officer, Visiting Nurse Associations of New England |
"The Massachusetts Association of Health Plans (MAHP) is a supportive member of the Massachusetts Health Data Consortium. Membership in the Consortium has provided significant value to our organization. At a time when privacy of health data is at the forefront of the local and national agenda, it has been extremely beneficial to attend informative, topical conferences, such as the annual HealthMart and HIPAA training seminars, and have access to experts in the field. We have also found the Consortium useful in that, as an independent organization, it provides a neutral forum to gather data that can be used in sorting out disputed health care issues. We support the ongoing work and mission of the Consortium."
--Michael Katzman - Director, Legal and Regulatory Affairs, MA Association of Health Plans (MAHP) |
"The efforts of the Massachusetts Health Data Consortium to voluntarily coordinate statewide HIPAA activities and initiatives have been very useful in not only offering providers a one-stop resource for information on where payers, vendors and others are with relation to compliance with the various HIPAA standards, but also an opportunity for all parties to meet in a collaborative and neutral forum to start discussions on compliance."
--Anuj Goel - Manager, Corporate & Regulatory Compliance, Massachusetts Hospital Association |
"The Massachusetts Health Data Consortium membership benefits the League in a number of ways. MHDC conferences and events are consistently high quality and on topics of importance; MHDC workgroups provide great opportunities for information exchange among colleagues; and MHDC staff are always available for questions on health information and data. Representing community-based nonprofit health care providers in underserved communities, the League is especially sensitive to the challenges of HIPAA: as a convener of conveners on HIPAA issues, and the MHDC has been responsive to the needs of smaller providers in this regard."
--Keith Maxwell, MA, MS - Technical Services Director, Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers |
"We participate in many regional and national organizations. None do a better job of bringing together the business, technology and policy perspectives health care organizations are faced with today. Our Focus of the Month was attended by a lively cross-section of health plan, provider, software vendor, consulting, and other health care perspectives. We had a great discussion with lots of interesting questions and views."
--Ray Kobs - CEO, Data Method |
"The Consortium's membership is unique: a mix of health care providers, payors, government agencies and business that cannot be duplicated in any other setting. The Consortium's Focus of the Month program is a great way to reach out to their membership."
--David Szabo, JD - Nutter, McClennen & Fish, LLP |
