September 24, 2010 | The National eHealth Collaborative (NeHC) has announced the course schedule for the Fall 2010 semester of NHIN University. The NHIN University Fall 2010 semester will begin with a focus on Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN) operation and oversight, offering classes on the new Standards and Interoperability Framework and current efforts to determine governance of the network. Closer to the holiday season, NHIN University will highlight the NHIN Direct project and Beacon Communities. A discussion of the NHIN Value Proposition will again close this five-class series.

NHIN University is a series of free webinars intended to provide stakeholders with knowledge about the Nationwide Health Information Network: what it is, how it works, and the vital trust fabric that underpins the safe and secure exchange of health information over the Internet. In its inaugural Spring 2010 semester, NHIN University provided instruction to 1,348 stakeholders representing 728 different organizations. A full list of the Spring 2010 students can be found on the NeHC website. NeHC
