About Us
Health-e-LA is a growing coalition of healthcare plans and providers, healthcare associations, public agencies, foundations, universities, consumer groups and researchers dedicated to developing an infrastructure for multi-organizational electronic exchange of clinical healthcare information throughout Los Angeles County. The coalition was launched in early 2004 by three co-conveners: L.A. Care Health Plan, the County of Los Angeles Department of Health Services, and the Los Angeles County Medical Association.
Our Mission
The mission of Health-e-LA is to foster the development of an infrastructure for multi-organizational electronic exchange of clinical healthcare information throughout the greater Los Angeles region.
Our Vision
The vision of Health-e-LA is a future in which the electronic exchange of patient-controlled health records for residents of the Los Angeles region is seamless, easy, and secure, no matter where the person accesses healthcare.
