Morningside Initiative. The Morningside Initiative is a public-private partnership that has evolved from a meeting at the Morningside Inn sponsored by the Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC) of the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC). Participants were subject matter experts in clinical decision support (CDS) and included representatives from the military health system Department of Defense (DoD), Veterans Healthcare Administration (VHA), Kaiser Permanente, Partners Healthcare System, Henry Ford Health System (HFHS), Arizona State University (ASU), the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA), and TATRC. Intermountain Healthcare joined by consensus vote of the Steering Committee in January 2008. These organizations are co-signers to a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
