Minnesota e-Health Initiative Advisory Committee
The Minnesota e-Health Initiative Advisory Committee is accepting applications at the Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State website.
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) is currently accepting membership applications for the Minnesota e-Health Advisory Committee. Health and health care is being transformed by health information technology, data use and exchange, and policy to improve health care efficiency and health outcomes. Established in 2004, under Minnesota Statute, the 25-member committee is responsible for developing recommendations and advising the Commissioner of Health on policies and processes to advance the use of health information technology, data use, data exchange, and related technologies.
We are seeking members who represent perspectives from across Minnesota’s health care landscape, including providers, hospitals, health insurers and health plans, long-term care, public health, academic and research institutions, vendors, consumers, state agencies, and others. A list of specific positions, along with the application, is available on the Board/Commission: Minnesota e-Health Advisory Committee webpage under the "Details" section.
The committee will work to achieve the Minnesota e-Health Vision, where all communities and individuals benefit from and are empowered by information and technology that advances health equity and supports health and wellbeing. Past work has shaped legislation and enabled collaboration toward common goals. Members will be expected to bring their expertise and lived experiences to support this effort. More information can be found on the Minnesota e-Health Initiative webpage and in the most recent Minnesota e-Health Initiative report to the legislature.
Interested individuals are encouraged to apply for membership through the Board/Commission: Minnesota e-Health Advisory Committee webpage by December 31. However, the application portal will remain open until all seats are filled. Please share this opportunity with any colleagues who may be interested.
Applicants should submit a resume. While other materials are optional, we suggest including a statement of why you want to serve on this committee and how you can support the efforts. Questions about the committee or application process may be directed to mn.ehealth@state.mn.us.

2030 Planning Project
In 2017 and 2018 the Advisory Committee developed recommendations to assure a more agile Initiative that can better lead, influence, anticipate, and respond to future challenges, opportunities, and uncertainties that are significant to e-health. The recommendations, process, and artifacts are summarized in the Minnesota e-Health 2030 Planning Project: Recommendations for Improvement Report (PDF).
