"Arizona gets it. You have in fact embodied that idea of fostering collaborations and bringing to the table a wide spectrum of stakeholders, all of whom have to be involved."

Consumer Advisory Council

The charge of the Arizona Health-e Connection Consumer Advisory Council is to advise the AzHeC Board, by providing a forum for consumer comment, education and the development of consumer stakeholder consensus on principles, standards and initiatives relating to the electronic transfer of personal health information as it relates to AzHeC activities.

The Consumer Advisory Council's goal is to reflect the demographic breadth of the state of Arizona, by calling on individuals from all walks of life. We are especially looking to engage consumers who are not employed within the health care industry. Responsibilities of council members will include, but are not limited to:

  • Review of information about the organization, basic concepts of health information infrastructure terminology, new developments in the HII market, and other relevant documents.

  • Attendance at Consumer Advisory Council meetings, to be held once a month. A conference call number will be provided for those individuals who are unable to attend in person.

  • Active participation in council discussions and activities

  • Assistance with distribution of information to the greater population
