Needs of Michigan's residents and stakeholders. See MITC Final Report and health care agenda. The progress of AccessMichigan serves as a key foundational element for serving the health information The leaders of the Michigan Public Health Institute and the Michigan Library Consortium met to prepare a systematic exploration phase. The seeds for AMECHII were planted with the release of the Michigan Information Technology Commission (MITC) Final Report in September 1998. AMECHII will also seek international partnerships with developing countries to cooperatively develop an electronic health information infrastructure in those nations, and to seek external funding to do so. The planning process, which will begin with a comprehensive needs assessment, gap analysis and economic model, will result in the design of a state-wide health information architecture/system design, and will include economic sustainability and new paradigms for library collaboration and federation in the acquisition and distribution of electronic resources over a wide area. This pilot project, if successful, will be used as a model for other state-wide information projects. The objectives include extending the current network infrastructure to serve all libraries and to negotiate state-wide licenses for core and extended electronic collections, including reference materials and serials, recognizing the economic realities in American hospitals and libraries and the need for economic viability of publishers. This project is truly multi-type-including public, general academic, academic health science, hospital, and special libraries. The AccessMichigan Electronic Community Health Information Initiative (AMECHII) is a response to a recommendation of the Michigan Information Technology Commission Report, "we recommend improved access to high-quality health care information for all Michigan stakeholders." The desired outcome is ubiquitous and universal access to high-quality, timely, reliable and valid health information for health consumers and practitioners regardless of geographic location in the state, many of whom are currently unserved or under served.
