HME Partners Create CEE Health Reform Monitoring Network

AIHA's five health management education (HME) partnerships in Albania, the Czech Republic, Romania and Slovakia will soon be participating in a region-wide project to monitor the progress of health care reforms in each of their countries.

The Central and Eastern European Health Reform Monitoring Network was created as a formal means of exchanging comparative health care data and policy developments among the region's health care reformers. The HME partnerships will serve as a starting point for the network, providing health care reform updates via the Internet to provide a comparative context for reformers in other countries undergoing economic transition.

AIHA is working with the partners to establish an Internet-based clearinghouse that will include a national health reform site on the World Wide Web and an electronic mailing list. The web site will feature basic information about the current progress of health care reform in each country, updated regularly by partnership institutions.

Interested persons from non-partner institutions in CEE will also participate in an electronic health reform mailing list, which will allow individuals to post questions to other members and to participate in an ongoing discussion on health reform topics.

While the Health Reform Monitoring Network will initially only include CEE countries, AIHA envisions expanding the network to the New Independent States (NIS) in the near future.
