Alignment layer · Coalition

The Industry Coalition — payers, providers, vendors, and academia in one room.

The alignment layer of the NHIT system: a pre-competitive coalition that turns policy signal into deployable infrastructure — with named participants across the health economy.

Why a coalition

Alignment is infrastructure.

Without pre-competitive alignment, every actor optimizes locally, and nothing scales. The NHIT Industry Coalition is where payers, providers, vendors, academia, and community-governance meet before a deployment — not after.

Seat 01

Payers

Public and commercial payers align on value-based, community-embedded models.

Seat 02

Providers

Health systems, FQHCs, and territorial systems commit to interoperable deployment.

Seat 03

Vendors

Data, cloud, and clinical technology partners commit to non-lock-in interoperability.

Seat 04

Academia

Schools of public health and evaluators keep the evidence discipline honest.

Seat 05

Community-governance

Community-based organizations and CHW cooperatives hold the ownership seat.

Seat 06

Federal & territorial

Agencies and territorial governments participate as convening partners.
