MHDC About Page-1

 

Our History

Since its incorporation in 1978, MHDC has focused its services on data quality, data standardization, interoperability and data exchange, analytics, and modernizing technology and IT processes among members of the New England health community. We convene interested parties for education, discussion of emerging topics in healthcare, collaborative specification of standardized technology projects, and focused implementations of infrastructure. These efforts enable health organizations to meet the needs of every individual, reduce the excessive burdens the industry imposes on all who interact with it, and improve health value.

Our Vision

A patient-centered health data economy that engages individuals to manage their health as they see fit.

The Dolores L. Mitchell Investing in Information Award

Since 1996, MHDC's Investing in Information Awards have honored organizations and individuals who have invested capital, knowledge and leadership to use information to innovate health care delivery, technology, financing and policy.

Previously known as the "INVESTING IN INFORMATION AWARD," this award was renamed in 2013 for long time Consortium Supporter and Board Member, Dolores L. Mitchell, former Executive Director of the Group Insurance Commission for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
