NAHDO Membership - Overview

Unique Perspective

NAHDO is the only organization of its kind bringing together members of the public and private sectors of the health information industry to foster cooperation for the development of effective mechanisms to address complex health care issues. NAHDO is a member-driven organization that relies on financial support from partners and sponsors at various levels. We are very appreciative of this support and thank you for your interest. 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.

The APCD Council is a program of NAHDO in partnership with the University of New Hampshire’s Institute for Health Policy and Practice that convenes an expanding group of government, private, nonprofit, and academic organizations interested in the development and deployment of state or regional APCDs. Membership and partnership revenue also supports the APCD Council.
