LANSING, Mich. – The Health Information Technology Commission (HITC) Community Information Exchange (CIE) Advisory Committee is seeking applications for its Community Voice Subgroup.
The HITC was established by Public Act 137 in 2006 and is part of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. In 2023, the commission adopted the CIE Task Force Final Report and established the CIE Advisory Committee, which is charged with developing statewide infrastructure to support community information exchange. Organizations across Michigan use different data systems to connect people to health, human and social services. CIE supports communities by making it easier to know what services are available and how people can access those resources.
A key element of the CIE Advisory Committee’s work is to focus on consumer and participant experiences, including formal ways for community members to participate in decision-making. The Community Voice Subgroup will help guide the CIE Advisory Committee on state-level policy development and effective implementation of community information exchange.
Examples of community information exchange could include a clinic and a transportation nonprofit sharing data to ensure a senior citizen has a ride to the doctor's office, or local community organizations sharing data about up-to-date availability of emergency shelter beds.
The Community Voice Subgroup will include a majority of individuals with lived experience in CIE systems, as well as caregivers or guardians of individuals with lived experience, alongside representatives from the public and private sectors. Before applying, please review the subcommittee charter on the Community Voice Subgroup website.
The Community Voice Subgroup will meet six times per year for 90 minutes, beginning in late 2025. The subgroup will meet virtually unless otherwise agreed to in advance. Please submit an application for consideration by Friday, Aug.15.
Please visit the Community Information Exchange webpage to learn more about CIE, preview the Community Voice Subgroup application questions and/or review the subgroup charter. Questions and feedback can be sent to MDHHS-SDOH-PolicyandPlanning@michigan.gov.
