NC Consumer Advisory Council on Health Information (NC CACHI)
NC CACHI is a unique health care
consumer group formed by NCHICA in 2006 for grassroots input and
participation to explore ideas and issues surrounding health information,
such as privacy and electronic health records.
The purpose of the NC CACHI is to engage patients (health care consumers)
in providing input and feedback on topics related to health information.
NC CACHI will provide an opportunity to influence both state and
national policy with regard to health care consumers' ideas and
concerns about health information and technology, and will participate
in trying to find a balance between a patient's need for privacy
and the health care system's need for access to personal health
information.
