Guiding Principle 2: The MiHIN will leverage existing and planned information
technology.
Health information exchange will be made accessible to all naturally occurring and commerce-
defined communities of providers by leveraging, and to the extent possible not duplicate,
existing and planned information technology investments – State of Michigan, regional,
community, private and other HIE initiatives.
Guiding Principle 3: Multi-stakeholder collaboration is needed to implement achievable
and measurable initiatives.
Cooperation and collaboration on the implementation of health information exchange will drive
innovation and change across the various stakeholders in the state as well as foster the
sustainability and financial solvency of statewide HIE efforts.
Guiding Principle 4: The MiHIN will conform to applicable federal guidelines.
Statewide health information exchange will be designed and implemented to support Michigan
priorities within the guidelines of the Office of the National Coordinator – Meaningful Use,
standards, NHIN, etc. – in order to facilitate national health exchange and optimize funding.
Guiding Principle 5: Those that benefit should participate in paying the cost.
Long-term financial sustainability of the MiHIN will be dependent upon fair contribution from
those who benefit.
Guiding Principle 6: Adoption and use of the MiHIN is critical to success
Since the benefit of statewide health information exchange comes from adoption and use, the
MiHIN should be attractive to a broad range of healthcare stakeholders throughout Michigan
and be designed and implemented in phases to deliver early results to support increased
adoption.
4.1.2 Governance Model
The model for long term governance of the MiHIN was developed with the input of Michigan’s
healthcare stakeholders and leverages existing organizations to fulfill all governance roles and
responsibilities. The goal of the MiHIN governance model is to ensure broad-based stakeholder
collaboration, oversight and accountability, efficiency and flexibility to align with nationwide HIE
governance. The MiHIN long-term governance model will achieve these goals through a
coordinated governance structure that includes utilizing the statewide vision and public structure
of the existing Michigan HIT Commission and the creation a new MiHIN Shared Services
Governance Board to allow those that directly benefit from and financially contribute to the
MiHIN Shared Services to govern the business and technical operations.
