In order to achieve our mission of improving healthcare quality and cost-effectiveness, LCF Research has developed a significant focus on Health Information Technology (HIT). Our HIT staff is dedicated to staying well-versed in emerging technologies with the potential to improve healthcare efficiency and quality, and to support patient self-management and wellness.

We are developing extensive healthcare data warehouse technology to support our research activities and are creating network technology services and a comprehensive Health Information Exchange (HIE) network to serve New Mexico. Our HIE network is the New Mexico Health Information Collaborative (NMHIC) and is among the first ten HIE networks involved in the trial implementation of the Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN).
