Initiatives are one of the core mechanisms that H2A will use to facilitate collaboration around specific business or technical objectives. Initiatives tackle larger issues and opportunities that present immediate or long-term value for most, if not all, members of the network. In the original spirit of the Accelerator, all initiatives will focus on creating an “industry good” that contributes to further integrating technology and the consumer experience across the industry.

Initiative Lifecycle

H2A initiatives currently under development include:

Health 2.0 Ontology
The goal of the H2A Ontology Initiative is to develop a living ontology of Health 2.0 companies that informs the strategies and activities of the network, enables the development of relationships with traditional health care organizations, and supports standardized approaches to describing capabilities and value to consumers.

CCR Exchange
The goal of the CCR Exchange Initiative is to leverage a recognized standard to facilitate affordable and efficient exchange of health information and interoperation of services among Health 2.0 technology companies and traditional health care stakeholders, including major EHR, PHR, and Lab Vendors, as well as pharmacies and retail clinics.
