Workgroup Community
Everyday, WEDI members volunteer their time and talent to WEDI workgroups to provide thoughtful leadership and common-sense approaches that enhance the exchange of clinical and administrative healthcare information. They collect input, exchange ideas, and make recommendations that inspire impactful and far-reaching change in our industry.
Joining a workgroup is easy
After you've logged into the WEDI Member Center, in "My Info" select the workgroups that you want to participate in and then click save. Workgroup information will also be posted in the Forum, so all our members can see the great work being done. Watch this video for more information.
