Bright ideas rooted in diverse opinions, positive collaboration, and disciplined analysis.

If it's something that's keeping you up at night, NEHI and its members are likely working towards a solution.

NEHI is a non-profit, unbiased organization with members, including providers, payers, hospitals and health systems, pharmaceutical and biotech companies, medical device, and technology providers, as well as associations and consultants. Through interdisciplinary collaboration and with our members’ guidance, we research and examine tough and timely health care innovation issues from multiple, often divergent, perspectives. We then address policy and adoption challenges to promote the value of innovative products and processes.
