CENTENNIAL, CO -- The Collaborative Health Consortium, formerly known as the Clinical Groupware Collaborative, announced the agenda today for the first-ever eCollaboration Forum, part of HIMSS12 on February 23, 2012 in Las Vegas, NV. HIMSS12, this year’s conference and exhibition from the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society, is expecting record attendees. This eCollaboration Forum marks the first partnership between HIMSS and an outside organization in developing a program for the annual event. “We’ve put together an incredible program around Collaborative Platforms in conjunction with HIMSS,” said Steve Adams, VP of Collaborative Care and Health Improvement at Alere and Chair of the event. “We have an amazing group of people who have committed to this movement, and this Summit, and I’m excited to be a part of it.”

This year’s eCollaboration Forum explores collaborative platforms as foundations for transformation to accountable care. Attendees and others can follow hashtag #eCollab12 on Twitter for Forum highlights.

The one day forum will feature:

  • Farzad Mostashari, National Coordinator for Health Information Technology on Health IT Platforms and Accountable Care
