Updated September 30, 2010 OHT’s Approach (Conceptual 50,000 Feet) OHT significantly contributes to the health and well-being of individuals and communities by transforming the health IT industry to be able to quickly deliver high quality products and services that are easier, safer, cheaper, and more responsive to user needs. 1 October

Updated September 30, 2010 OHT’s Approach (Conceptual 50,000 Feet) OHT significantly contributes to the health and well-being of individuals and communities by transforming the health IT industry to be able to quickly deliver high quality products and services that are easier, safer, cheaper, and more responsive to user needs. OHT accomplishes this by forging a trusted, self-sustaining Collaborative Community of Diverse Participants who self- organize around new and emerging Innovative Business Models. Community members use, support, and add value to a core set of shared, open source, “industrial strength” Software Platforms, Tools, and Exemplary Applications, which they have created and delivered as planned using Proven Processes. This software is reliable, scalable, and extensible and designed to maximize User Choice. 1 October

Updated September 30, 2010 OHT’s Approach (Conceptual 25,000 Feet) …forging a trusted, self-sustaining Collaborative Community of Diverse Participants who self-organize around new and emerging Innovative Business Models Enable Collaborative Communities to: form, communicate, cooperate, and contribute to a private public collective for mutual gain and service. Diverse Participants collaborate and self-organize to develop communities and software that is for the common good and is free. Innovative Business Models used are self-sustaining, persist over time and across geographic borders, and transcend partisan initiatives. 1 October

Updated September 30, 2010 Element #1: Diverse Participants (Conceptual 10,000 Feet) We seek diversity in the participants throughout the ecosystem. Diversity manifests itself in: economic, (resource rich to resource constrained), geographic, (large to small areas, urban to rural, centralized to decentralized) cultural, (preserve and protect the cultural diversity) technology adoption (Early adopters to laggard) vocational (highly skilled and literate to no skills and illiterate Membership: The initial community of diverse member organizations includes: national, regional, and local health provider organizations; health professional organizations public health organizations academicians, informaticians, researchers open standards organizations product and service vendors consultants consumers/patients and consumers/patients advocate organizations (pending) OHT will add organizations and individuals from both current and new health interest groups 1 October OHT’s role: Balance the diversity and turn competitors into collaborators
