HIE organizations identify factors that aid, impede success

A new report from the National eHealth Collaborative looks at the strategies and business models that can support or impede the success of regional health information exchange organizations by profiling 12 fully operational HIEs. "While every HIE project is unique, they all share the same problems of participation, value, security, growth and especially sustainability," said Mark Jones, chief operating officer for the Secure Medical Records Transfer Network (SMRTNET), an Oklahoma organization profiled in the report.
