Gregory Farnum
President of Vermont Information Technology Leaders, Inc.
"The Connecting for Health Common Framework was a valuable resource as Vermont Information Technology Leaders, Inc. developed the Vermont Health Information Technology Plan. In particular, we found the nine core principles for ensuring privacy in a networked health information environment to be very helpful. We included them in the plan as part of a privacy and security framework for the Vermont Health Information Exchange Network, in addition to the seven principles developed by our Vermont Work Group."
