Alliance Strategy
Work for consensus and speak with one voice for pediatric quality and health information technology.
Endorse and promote projects that advance our objectives for quality and health information technology in children’s health care.
Convene stakeholders in children’s health care on key quality and health information technology issues.
Advocate for policy, standards, systems, and products that will improve the quality of children’s health care.
As a collaborator and consensus-driven organization, the Alliance does not duplicate efforts. Rather, it convenes all stakeholders in children’s healthcare and speaks with one voice to elevate quality and health information technology issues that affect quality for children. Four key strategies drive its efforts.

National HIT Emphasis: Why is this important?
Slide 4
Numerous Initiatives Underway to Support National Goals
for Adoption and Interoperability of EHR Systems
Problem: Children are nearly one third of the population. They receive care through HIT in a variety of settings. National efforts are largely adult-focused; Pediatric efforts for influence are isolated and duplicative.
Opportunity: Work together as pediatric HIT community with one strong voice to influence national initiatives and ensure needs of child healthcare are addressed.
