Civitas Networks for Health® is a national collaborative comprised of member organizations working to use health information exchange, health data, and multi-stakeholder, cross-sector approaches to improve health.
New from Civitas and CSRI: a timely perspective on what it takes to build trustworthy health data sharing at scale. This blog explores why locally governed networks like HIEs—and their evolution into Health Data Utilities (HDUs)—are essential trust infrastructure, and how they work alongside national frameworks like TEFCA. As interoperability expands, the piece outlines a clear takeaway: local accountability is critical to ensuring data is used responsibly, securely, and effectively across the health ecosystem.
With the need for more coordinated person-centric quality care, community leaders across the country are working to address the unique health and health care needs of neighbors through data-informed multi-stakeholder approaches. Civitas stands with and champions these local health care innovators – amplifying their voices at the national level and supporting the exchange of resources and ideas among their programs.
The first-ever Civitas Networks for Health® Impact Report highlights the collective progress and real-world impact of our national network over the past year. It showcases how community-governed organizations are working together to strengthen health data exchange, support public health and care delivery, and turn collaboration into measurable results at the local, regional, and national levels.
