3.2.2 MiHIN Strategy
The following domain-specific sections of the MiHIN Strategic Plan provide in-depth detail of the
strategies that have been developed in support of ensuring that Michigan can realize the vision
of the MiHIN. These strategies are summarized below:
Governance: Create a coordinated governance structure that leverages the Michigan HIT
Commission to govern the statewide vision and creates a new entity to become the State
Designated Entity made up of direct customers of the MiHIN Shared Services to govern the
business and technical operations.
Finance: Create a self-sustaining organization by 2015 that relies on the direct customers of the
MiHIN Shared Services, Sub-State HIEs and Payers, as its primary funding source.
Technical: Create a cost effective, scalable architecture, based on standards that provides for a
set of statewide services that can be leveraged by all organizations that connect to the MiHIN
Shared Services Bus.
Business and Technical Operations: Execute on a plan that provides value to Michigan
consumers by incrementally deploying capability that satisfies the ONC clinical priorities and
enables Michigan’s providers to meet meaningful use while building out components of the
MiHIN Shared Services.
Legal and Policy: Create a set of Privacy and Security policies that ensures the security of the
information that moves around the MiHIN Shared Services Bus that meet national standards of
interoperability while not causing an undue administrative burden on providers and consumers.
3.3 Medicaid Coordination
Michigan’s Medicaid program has been a part of the Michigan (MDCH) since 1996. The
integration of the Medicaid agency into MDCH has fostered many collaborative efforts improving
the health care of Michigan citizens. One of the most effective initiatives implemented was the
Medicaid supported data warehouse. The data warehouse is a component of the Medicaid
Management Information System (MMIS) IT architecture.
Utilizing the data warehouse to improve the quality of care spurred Medicaid’s involvement in
Michigan’s health information technology projects. The work group will also assist in the
creation of a State Medicaid HIT Plan. The coordinated effort between the MiHIN and the
Medicaid EHR Incentive Program provides an efficient means to advance EHR adoption and
health information exchange. The Director of Medicaid Operations and Quality Assurance is an
executive steering committee member of the MiHIN Program Office, serves as co-chair of the
MiHIN Business Operations Work Group and is a voting member of the MiHIN Governance
Work Group. There is Medicaid representation on the majority of the MiHIN planning work
groups. The Director of Medicaid Data Management Division is a member of the MiHIN Privacy
and Security Work Group and staff from the Medicaid Data Management Division is a member
