Who we are

The Allied Association Information Resource Network group consists of state and regional hospital association technical, quality and operational professionals. We come together once a year* to share common ideas and find solutions to healthcare issues impacting our members across the country.

We are committed to leveraging technology, data and information to serve our hospitals and healthcare provider members.

Our membership is made up of a diverse group of individuals from state and regional healthcare associations across the country.

With a focus on information technology, data and data-related products and services, our meetings provide information and education on a broad range of topics relative to member hospitals’ financial viability, health information technology, quality performance, community benefit, employee retention and the ever-changing legislative and regulatory requirements.

Our participants include experts in the field of health information technology, data collection and analysis and reporting — demonstrating the power of data and how to maximize its potential through the use of web-based tools and other programs.

*The A2IRNet group annual event is restricted to state and regional hospital associations and their owned subsidiary corporation employees.
