e-Health Council

Iowa e-Health is a collaboration to promote the adoption and use of health information technology (health IT) in Iowa. 

The Iowa e-Health Executive Committee and Advisory Council was formed in 2008 by the Iowa Legislature to provide guidance in the development of health IT in Iowa. The Executive Committee is one of the eleven advisory councils established in the 2008 Iowa Health Care Reform Act (HF 2539).
