About UsVermont Information Technology Leaders, Inc. (VITL), is a 501(c)(3) public charity that was incorporated in Vermont on July 22, 2005. VITL is a non-profit partnership between the public and private sectors. It is VITL’s vision that the Vermont health information exchange network will share real-time clinical information among health care providers across the state to improve patient outcomes while reducing service duplication and decreasing the rate at which health care spending occurs.
VITL is a multi-stakeholder corporation formed by a broad base of providers, payers, employers, patients, and state agencies. The efforts of VITL are being coordinated with other state and federal initiatives, including the National Health Information Network (NHIN) of the federal Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), the national eHealth Initiative, and the Vermont Blueprint for Health. VITL's work helps to facilitate communication among Vermont's health information technology experts and creates the foundation for future health information technology collaboration.
