The Private Sector Technology Group (PSTG) is a broad based group of innovative companies and professionals providing Health Information Technology (HIT) products and services to state governments and federal agencies. This group's talents and expertise ranges from system design consulting to program operations. The PSTG is a resource for federal and state governments to obtain information regarding the application of information technologies to optimize the delivery of health services administration. The PSTG is based on collaboration and a “leave your logo at the door” approach to health care system discussions with state and federal partners. The PSTG seeks to provide technical and policy suggestions on matters of significance to the health care system in the United States. The PSTG uses “white paper” committees with broad industry representation and actively seeks guidance and input from public partners in the state and federal government throughout the white paper development process. Producing, on average, one in-depth white paper per year the final product is always a consensus document with review and comment from our public partners throughout the development process. The health service industry is going through a once-in-a century transformation. To better serve the citizenry of our fine country, public and private organizations must work together to bring about change that is effective, efficient, and affordable. The PSTG’s aim is to provide collaboratively formed and consensus based technical and policy guidance in partnership with federal and state governments aimed at improving the health care delivery.
