The Association for Executives in Healthcare Applications, Data & Analytics (AEHADA), formerly AEHIA, was launched in 2014 in order to provide an education and networking platform to healthcare’s senior IT applications leaders.

AEHADA was formed under the auspices of CHIME, the premier professional membership organization for chief information officers (CIOs) and other senior healthcare IT leaders. CHIME leadership heeded a message of concern from members that there was a distinct lack of education and resources geared towards healthcare applications executives; AEHADA was designed to address that unmet need in the industry.

AEHADA is the only professional organization focused on supporting the healthcare industry’s applications executive community. AEHADA is focused on advancing the role of the CAO through education, collaboration, and advocacy in support of the applications that improve healthcare delivery and efficiency. We know what your challenges are and we’re here to help you with them.

Healthcare organizations are increasingly relying on CAOs like yourself to manage an increasingly complex technology environment; making education and collaboration essential components to fostering knowledge, solutions and best-practice sharing.

Your membership in AEHADA can help you save valuable time, get up to speed on hot industry topics, and refine your leadership skills.

AEHADA membership is open to CAOs and senior applications leaders at healthcare related organizations. To facilitate collaboration and the development of stronger healthcare senior application leaders, AEHADA members are encouraged to refer other healthcare application executives as well.

AEHADA membership is assigned to the individual at a healthcare provider or payer organization who applies and is approved. Membership is not for the organization itself and is not transferable from one individual to another.

AEHADA was created to support the professional needs of CAOs in healthcare. The AEHADA Foundation is a not-for-profit organization representing the nation’s leading healthcare IT vendors and professional services firms. AEHADA Foundation members benefit from a unique opportunity to partner and collaborate directly with member CAOs.

The support of the AEHADA Foundation allows AEHADA to provide its members with leading edge education, information, and networking opportunities. In return, AEHADA Foundation members have an unprecedented ability to connect with healthcare industry CAOs through AEHADA-sponsored education and events.
