Health Innovation Alliance

What Health Innovation Alliance does

Health Innovation Alliance (HIA) is a Washington, D.C.-based health IT advocacy coalition founded in 2019 that operates as a broad-based membership organization uniting patient groups, provider organizations, employers, insurers, and technology companies around the intersection of healthcare and technology. Its core mission is to expand technology-enabled care, improve efficiency, reduce costs, and drive innovation across the U.S. healthcare system, with explicit focus areas in artificial intelligence policy, health data interoperability, and telehealth expansion. HIA does not develop proprietary software or technology products; instead, it delivers value through policy advocacy, published research reports, regulatory frameworks (e.g., its 2024 AI Principles and 2025 AI Use Cases Report), coalition letters (with 450+ documented stakeholder signatories), and direct engagement with Congress, the Trump administration, and federal agencies including FDA, CMS, HHS, and ONC.

HIA is funded through recurring membership contributions from its diverse stakeholder base, with membership details available upon inquiry rather than publicly disclosed. Its go-to-market motion is community-led: it mobilizes coalition members to advocate for legislation and regulatory outcomes, and convenes across the healthcare-technology ecosystem through Capitol Hill briefings, media commentary, and digital channels. The organization is privately operated, has no parent company or external investment, and is run by a 7-person team led by Executive Director Roslyn Docktor (appointed 2025/2026, formerly of IBM) and President Joel White. Key strategic activities include co-launching the White House-CMS Health Tech Ecosystem initiative with 60 healthcare technology organizations, supporting the SECURE Data Act for national data privacy, and endorsing the Executive Order promoting AI to fight childhood cancer.
