HCS 483 Discussion

In this thread we discuss the different types of HIE or Health Information Exchanges. In Support of this discussion, I am attaching an interesting FINAL Report on HIEs that was published in 2016, from a National Perspective.

Note the challenges and issues that were described in this report in terms of technology, operations, and financing of health information exchanges. We know that every state in the US has approached the concept of health information exchange from their own perspective-there are regional exchanges, state level exchanges etc. Clary your state and look for the health information exchange is in the state where you live.

What did you find? What type of exchange is it? How big is the exchange and what providers in your area are participating and/or not participating? 150-200 words
