Network for Excellence in Health Innovation

NEHI is a national nonprofit, nonpartisan organization composed of stakeholders from across all key sectors of health and health care. Its mission is to advance innovations that improve health, enhance the quality of health care, and achieve greater value for the money spent. NEHI consults with its broad membership, and conducts independent, objective research and convenings, to accelerate these innovations and bring about changes within health care and in public policy. NEHI has had important impact on health care and health policy at the national, state, and local level, as follows: NEHI’s research and recommendations on financing innovation, payment and delivery system reform, health information technology, and patient engagement have been cited in Congressional testimony; published in influential journals including the New England Journal of Medicine and the Journal of the American Medical Association; and cited in mainstream and social media. NEHI’s convening power brings together stakeholders from across sectors of health and health care, enabling us to build consensus on pressing issues such as paying for biopharmaceuticals, gathering data to support health improvement, and fostering more use of innovative technologies in health care delivery. NEHI educates policy makers and health care thought leaders and has influenced legislative and regulatory policy on Meaningful Use of health information technology; the Congressional Budget Office’s estimates on the cost and savings impact of medication adherence; and use of community health workers.
