These innovative solutions share the following characteristics:

• Explicit design for information sharing and online communication among providers and patients/consumers.
• A modular or component architecture upon which applications can be aggregated to meet specific clinical and workflow tasks.
• Patient/consumer engagement tools that facilitate ongoing health management and care coordination.
• Interface and data exchange standards for information sharing that emerge in a market-driven manner.
• An orientation to solving the practical challenges associated with the exchange, aggregation and analysis of data in connection with Meaningful Use objectives.

CGC's members offer applications that include registry, portal, data security, content management, virtual health record and data analysis solutions, among others. Advocates of the clinical groupware approach are not limited to software developers and HIT innovators, but also include practicing physicians, and leaders in health care services, managed care and disease management, telehealth, and other e-health and m-health organizations.
