NMHIC is a three-year, community-wide (and eventually statewide) effort, led by Lovelace Clinic Foundation and its partners in the community, to develop a health information exchange to allow privacy-protected sharing of electronic health data across organizations.  It is part of a high-priority national initiative with broad bipartisan support to improve health care quality and costs through implementing health information technology at the regional and state level.  NIHIC initially targets Bernalillo County and Taos (as the rural pilot site).  Such an exchange will allow providers and patients to have web-enabled access to complete information when and where they need it to provide high-quality and cost-effective care.  Lovelace Clinic Foundation is a non-profit community-based health research and medical education organization.

The New Mexico Medical Review Association (NMMRA) is an Albuquerque-based, non-profit, physician-sponsored organization. By serving as a resource to the state's health care community and to Medicare beneficiaries, NMMRA seeks to fulfill its mission to improve the quality and protect the integrity of health care in New Mexico. NMMRA has served continuously as the state's only federally contracted Medicare Quality Improvement Organization (QIO) since 1984.

NMMRA also serves as the state's Medicaid External Quality Review Organization.

NMMS was formed in 1882 to, as our bylaws say, "secure enactment and enforcement of just medical laws, to promote friendly relations among our members, to uphold the principles of medical ethics of the American Medical Association, to extend medical knowledge and the standard of medical education, to uphold the obligations each member assumed under the Hippocratic Oath, all the while being cognizant of our unique influence on society."

The New Mexico Telehealth Alliance provides a forum for individuals and organization to improve the health of New Mexicans through the collaboration and sharing of health resources statewide.
