Industry Advisory Group (IAG)
Since its beginnings as a research conference, H3IT has established connections with the home care and hospice industry. IAG was formed in February 2019 by Dr. Koru to further strengthen the communication and partnership between the industry and research. IAG members represent the stakeholder groups touched by this industry such as providers, health IT vendors, and professional associations. The IAG members representing organizations are typically senior members whose experience and expertise match the rank of a university professor. In the future, IAG might also include representatives from patients, caregivers, patient advocacy groups as well as the local, state, and federal governments.
