Qualified Health Information Organizations (QHIOs) go beyond technical milestones to embody digital equity. They function as essential health data utilities, serving historically marginalized entities including healthcare providers, health plans, Medicaid agencies, and public health departments. Through processing and analyzing extensive health data, QHIOs identify trends, enhance care quality, and support public health initiatives. As we navigate this landscape, let us recognize QHIOs not just as connectors but as architects of a healthier, more equitable California. Their mission aligns seamlessly with the vision of California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM). Together, we can harness the full potential of health data for the benefit of all.
Presentation topics include:
