Dear NAHDO Organizational Member:
The Board of Directors of the National Association of Health Data Organizations (NAHDO) held a strategic planning retreat in Chicago, IL in April 2016. Its purpose was to set a strategic direction for the near future and review existing and potential future organizational activities that align both with membership services and sustainability of the organization. We are grateful to the Board members for taking two days from their “day jobs” to help NAHDO further its goals.
The Board reviewed NAHDO’s mission and affirmed it remains relevant today.
The National Association of Health Data Organizations (NAHDO) is a national, not-for-profit membership organization dedicated to improving health care through the collection, analysis, and dissemination of health care data.
NAHDO provides leadership in health care information management, analysis, and public reporting and promotes the availability of and access to health care data. NAHDO encourages the uses of data to make informed decisions and guide health policy. NAHDO provides information on current issues and strategies directed to developing a nationwide, comprehensive, integrated health information system by sponsoring educational programs, providing technical assistance and convening forums to foster collaboration and the exchange of ideas and experiences among collectors and users of health care data. Through these activities, NAHDO works to increase the state of knowledge.
The Board proposed the following framework for NAHDO’s organizational focus:
| Focal area |

In order to complete the strategic planning process, the NAHDO Board is requesting membership input. In the next week, your organization will be asked to complete a brief (10 minute) online Membership Survey. Your response (and those of your staff) are essential to refine our strategic framework and the activities related to this framework, with the goal of addressing the priorities of our membership.
We thank you in advance for taking the time to complete this survey. Be assured that the NAHDO Board is actively engaged in soliciting, reviewing, and acting on the information gathered through this process.
