About The Alliance

The Alliance for Smart Healthcare Excellence is an independent, 501c6 not-for-profit organization focused on advancing healthcare through the adoption and use of smart healthcare technologies, practices, and processes.

The president and chief executive officer of the alliance is H. Stephen Lieber, former HIMSS CEO.

The development of the Smart Hospital Maturity Model would not be possible without the expertise of a national, blue-ribbon advisory panel formed exclusively for the purpose of assisting in the model’s development. Here is that original panel to whom the Alliance expresses our deepest thanks and appreciation.
