Beacon Education, Analytic and Collaboration Hub
The BEACH is a public-private collaborative that fosters real-world health transformation by enabling innovative tools, technologies and techniques to be applied, tested, and evaluated through a standards-based process. Successful production candidates are then taken through a pre-deployment methodology to ensure interoperability, sustainability and advancement of the entire health ecosystem.
The BEACH is the continuing innovation of the San Diego Beacon Community after transitioning the highly successful health information exchange to San Diego Health Connect.
