     CenterNet, a resource and provider of education for clinicians, patients, and their communities was established in 1994 by the Association of Academic Health Centers (AHC). It provides timely information on important topics of immediate interest, such as developments in clinical practice, new emerging science technology, managed care, healthcare and Medicare reform, privacy issues, bioterrorism and other matters of federal and state health policy, especially as they impact the health professions. CenterNet programs consist of Key Opinion Leader forums conducted on a national, regional, and local basis. In many cases these forums will also be distributed via electronic means (television, audio, web), thereby fulfilling a core mission of the Association of Academic Health Centers.

     By linking academic health centers, community hospitals, veteran’s hospitals, and other healthcare providers, CenterNet programs play a vital role in enhancing interaction and the exchange of information throughout the healthcare community. This initial concept was broadened to include accredited Continuing Medical Education programming in the form of special broadcasts and on-site symposia on currently relevant topics, such as mental health, diabetes, asthma, pain management, HIV and women's health. Clinician/patient communications, Clinical Grand Rounds and Roundtables from the National Institutes of Health, and a variety of "Partners" broadcasts originate at institutions from across the country.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

     CenterNet works with organizations to establish and conduct healthcare initiatives. It has engaged in productive working relationships with the National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, VHA, the University Health System Consortium, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing and numerous specialty societies. Key links and participants in these initiatives are AHC university members.

     In the fall of 2001 the Association of Academic Health Centers established the American Network of Health Promoting Universities for the purpose of reaching out to communities especially those “underserved” with disease prevention activities. CenterNet launched the Advances in Care™  physician/patient community model to best implement this mission of the AHC and the Network.

     Strategically located in the National Press Building in Washington, DC, CenterNet in tandem with the AHC and its member university centers is positioned to cover and react to national healthcare agendas and developments that impact health professionals, patients, and their communities.
