Abstract
The Collaborative Health Consortium (CHC) (formerly the Clinical Groupware Collaborative) promotes the use of new health care platform architectures of participation, including: explicit design for information sharing and online communication among providers and patients/consumers; a modular or component architecture upon which applications can be aggregated to meet specific clinical and workflow tasks; interface and data exchange standards for information sharing; use of the internet and web for electronic health records (EHR) technology; and patient/consumer engagement tools that facilitate ongoing health management and care coordination.
