The Electronic Healthcare Network Accreditation Commission (EHNAC), a non-profit standards development organization and accrediting body for organizations that electronically exchange healthcare data, announced today that Lee Barrett, CEO and executive director, was elected to the Discover Alliance Board of Directors. Barrett joins a group of executives and other prominent industry leaders to promote Discover Alliance’s mission to become a Center for Health Connectivity that builds communities to connect people, process, and technology.
“Now more than ever, as our industry continues to facilitate interoperability in health IT, I am honored to join the Discover Alliance Board whose mission is, first and foremost, to allow for the discovery of information across interoperability stakeholders,” said Lee Barrett. “I look forward to working alongside current board members consisting of some of the top influencers in the healthcare arena as we collaborate towards new initiatives to support this mission of Discover Alliance.”
Barrett has served as EHNAC’s executive director since the commission’s inception in 1993 where he works on key HIT industry initiatives that lay the foundation for health information technology – including support and implementation of important healthcare legislative mandates. He has been appointed to the Executive Steering Committee for the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology’s (ONC) Payer + Provider FAST FHIR Task Force, co-chairs the FAST FHIR Testing and certification Tiger Team, is a member of the HHS Cybersecurity Task Force (405d), and Chair of the National Trust Network Data Sharing and Cybersecurity Task Group. He is also on the Board of Directors for the EP3 Foundation, DirectTrust and the eHI Leadership Council.
Discover Alliance is a 501(c)6 nonprofit membership association that is creating communities for collaborative problem-solving and allowing for the discovery of information through the use of its iNavigator platform. iNavigator offers a curated singular index of interoperability solutions, vendors, standards, regulations, case studies, and more. It allows for the discovery of information across interoperability stakeholders: medical societies, HIEs, academia, vendors, service providers, non-profits/industry alliances, payers, and accreditation agencies. Each industry segment is composed of a large number of companies, each contributing to interoperability. iNavigator provides the interoperability bridge and incentives to make that information discoverable.
