Since the inception of health reform and meaningful use in the United States, many standards and implementation requirements have been initiated to increase the adaptability and connectivity of electronic health records. Please choose a health information exchange (HIE) http://healthit.gov/policy-researchers-implementers/approved-state-plans and discuss the following:

1. What services does the HIE provide, and who are the stakeholders?

2. What location or area does your HIE serve?

3. Based on your selected HIE, how is it governed? Is it government-operated, a private organization, or a combination of both?
