NHIT is a nonprofit organization focused on engaging underserved populations in the development and use of health information technology to advance health equity and economic viability. Established in 2008, the group centers its work around five pillars—Workforce, Innovation, Policy, Research, and Community—to connect stakeholders in hospitals and health care with IT solutions that support better health outcomes for historically underserved communities. Based in Washington, DC, NHIT operates with a regional presence and collaborates through partnerships and coalitions to translate social determinants of health into actionable insights. The organization’s activities include convening events and launching initiatives that bring together health care providers, technology partners, and community stakeholders to address barriers to access and care quality. A notable recent development is NHIT’s involvement in a Community Health Innovation Summit in Puerto Rico, reflecting its emphasis on community-led health innovation and economic development.
