The five-year-old organization set up to advance healthcare information technology in New York is on the hunt for a PR agency or consultant to build its profile in the state and nationally.
The New York eHealth Collaborative, which receives state and federal funding and is based in Manhattan, released an RFP March 23 for public and media relations targeting a broad audience, nicluding healthcare providers, the health IT sector, legislators, in addition to media and the public.
"Health IT is a meaty, substantive and sometimes complex subject," according to the RFP. "NYeC is seeking a consultant who can get down to the nuts and bolts of a technical development, pull out the cogent points in legislation, and all the while keep in touch with sentiments within the general public as well as within the vibrant health IT industry communities."
Proposals are due April 12.
