A seat at Arizona's neutral table
AzHeC convenes the organizations that make connected care possible. Membership is how hospitals, clinics, labs, pharmacies, payers, vendors, academics, and public-sector agencies participate in a standards-first, vendor-neutral conversation about health interoperability.
Arizona
Why organizations join
The council's value is its neutrality. No member buys a position; every position starts from the published standard. That makes membership less about marketing and more about access — to a shared table where the people responsible for moving health data can align on how it should be done.
Members help shape the council's educational agenda, take part in committee work, and benefit from guidance written without a commercial agenda. Vendors are welcome as observers and contributors, but the council names no products and endorses none.
Membership categories
Participation is organized by the role an organization plays in Arizona's health-information ecosystem. These categories describe the types of members the council convenes — we do not list named organizations here.
Provider members
Hospitals, health systems, clinics, and ambulatory providers that send and receive clinical data through the exchange and depend on interoperability for continuity of care.
Payer members
Health plans and payer organizations that use exchanged data to support care coordination, quality measurement, and population health.
Lab & pharmacy members
Clinical laboratories and pharmacies connecting through electronic lab reporting (ELR), electronic prescribing, and medication-history interfaces.
Vendor-observer members
Technology and device companies that contribute technical expertise and stay current on standards — as observers and contributors, never as endorsed products.
Academic & research members
Universities, schools of informatics, and research programs advancing the evidence base for interoperability and health-information policy.
Public-sector members
State agencies, public-health authorities, and policymakers engaged in the Health IT Roadmap, reporting requirements, and privacy and consent policy.
What membership provides
Across every category, members share a common set of benefits.
01A neutral table

Standards program
03Convening & committees
Opportunities to take part in committee work on standards, privacy and consent, and connected-care priorities.
