The Alaska Health Information Exchange Summit is coming up on Aug 28! We’ll be kicking the day off with the session “What Health Information Exchange Means for Alaskans,” presented by Kendra Sticka, Executive Director of healthEconnect Alaska.

This session introduces our mission, values, and role in supporting health care across the state, following four stories of Alaskans as they interact with different parts of the health care system. Through these examples, we’ll explore how health information exchange shows up in practice, where it supports care, where gaps remain, and what it means for individuals, providers, and communities across Alaska.

About Us

Our History

Established in 2009, healtheConnect Alaska began its mission as Alaska eHealth Network. Like many health information exchanges across the country, ambitious strategies were put in place to develop a robust, two-way exchange of complete patient records.

Big changes don’t happen overnight, technology doesn’t always work the way it’s supposed to, and the healthcare market has been fraught with volatility. Alaska eHealth Network made some progress. And also came up against barriers and challenges.
