Improving Informatics Skills for Clinicians, New Foundation Incorporates
Focused on better preparing the clinical workforce to use technology and informatics to improve patient care delivery, Technology Informatics Guiding Education Reform (TIGER) becomes the TIGER Initiative Foundation effective July 1. The 501(c)(3) organization now operates for charitable, educational and scientific purposes. TIGER began as a grassroots initiative in 2006, with support from over 70 contributing organizations and a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, to engage and prepare the clinical workforce to use technology and informatics to improve the delivery of patient care. Now, five years later, these many volunteer hours and efforts have helped advance the TIGER cause. Leaders from the TIGER Phase III Executive Committee, HIMSS and collaborative partners will help with the process to establish and maintain the TIGER Initiative Foundation.
