  • The Federal News Radio Expert Voices panel focuses on “Health Information Exchange: Have We Turned the Corner?” In your opinion, why is this topic so relevant as we move into the future?
  • “All of the incentives and stimulus money from the federal government has made HIE extremely relevant right now. Health information exchanges will actually help government achieve its health reform objectives. In addition, organizations that want to receive stimulus funds and incentives will need HIE to meet critical healthcare requirements, such as accountability, care coordination, patient engagement, and quality. ”
