Representatives of telehealth and health information initiatives in the four states have been devloping specific collaborative initiatives including:

• Establishment of an interstate licensure process;
  
  
• Coordination of a virtual "E-Health" University for distance learning;
  
  
• Coordination of provision of telehealth clinical services representing best practices; and
  
  
• A process for interstate disaster response.
