Workgroups
Under the direction of the e-Health Executive Committee and Advisory Council, several volunteer workgroups and subcommittees were established to identify the objectives and action steps necessary to promote the adoption and use of health IT in Iowa. The Executive Committee, Advisory Council, workgroups, and subcommittees are comprised of diverse stakeholders from public and private entities including providers, professional associations, government, payers, educators, researchers, and consumers.
