  7. Why Transition AHIC 1.0 to AHIC 2.0 • Part of the initial agreement for the AHIC calls for accountability to be transferred to a successor. • Development of this project intends to propel AHIC to the next phase of development. • Designing and establishing the AHIC successor is a complex undertaking, requiring exceptional leadership and a broad support base.

  8. Strategy • This approach was taken to promote the utmost interest in the formation and combination of this new organization which will be known as AHIC 2.0. • Throughout the transition focus is to continue with the government in a noteworthy role. • The strategy was created following contribution from several organizations and business leaders. • This transition suggests continuity of progress and a stable base of operations for interoperability initiatives.

  9. Criteria for AHIC 2.0 • The AHIC successor will be an independent and sustainable public-private partnership bringing together the best attributes and resources of public and private entities. • This new public-private partnership will develop a unified approach to realize an effective, secure, interoperable nationwide health information system that supports the health and well-being of all individuals and communities in the U.S. • As an independent public-private partnership, the AHIC successor can move swiftly to make decisions (not just recommendations) with public sector input, the decisions that are acted upon can have significant market impact
