and operational efficiency.”

stakeholders in Texas to develop strategic and operational plans
for HIEs in the State of Texas,” said Manfred Sternberg, President
of the Board of Directors of the THSA. “Our goal is to improve the
quality, safety, and efficiency of the Texas health care sector
while protecting individual privacy.”
Michael J. Colson, CTG Senior Vice President, Solutions, also
commented “As an early entrant in the HIE arena, CTG brings to this
engagement the knowledge and experience to lay a solid groundwork
