Membership Details
NAHDO is the only organization of its kind bringing together members from the public and private sectors of the health information industry to foster cooperation for the development of effective mechanisms to address complex healthcare issues.
When you join as a NAHDO member, your organization becomes part of the only national association dedicated to improving the collection and use of healthcare data for market, policy, and research uses. NAHDO members have access to a national network of healthcare data experts and leaders in the collection and use of healthcare data.
NAHDO’s Unique Perspective
NAHDO is a member-driven organization that relies on financial support from partners and sponsors at various levels. NAHDO serves the interests of health data organizations, academic institutions, policy makers, healthcare systems, payers, and many others that have a common interest in the availability of high quality and timely health data to inform questions of cost, quality, and access to care.
Membership funds help support our core mission to promote the collection, analysis and dissemination of health data. See the list of current members.
The APCD Council is NAHDO’s program that convenes an expanding group of government, private, nonprofit, and academic organizations interested in the development, deployment and efficient operation of state or regional APCDs. Membership and partnership revenue also supports the APCD Council.
