87update to the Michigan HIT Commission. This will ensure cross-coordination and the necessary
level of checks and balances.
Under the coordinated governance structure, there will be a continual need for stakeholders to
continue to directly participate in the formulation of MiHIN activities, policies and standards
through multiple mechanisms. In a near-term example, working committees will need to form to
assist in the development of privacy and security policies and interoperability standards. The
direction and monitoring of the working committees will be conducted in the already established
open and transparent meeting practices of the HIT Commission.
The HIT Commission is required to adhere to the Michigan Open Meeting Act, Public Act No.
267 of 1976. The purpose of the Act is to strengthen the right of all Michigan Citizens by
requiring public bodies to conduct nearly all business at open meetings. Meeting notices and
minutes are also required to be publicly available. The HIT Commission’s meeting schedule for
the year as well as the meeting minutes and materials are posted on the Michigan Department
of Community Health’s website. The agenda always permits time for public comment. The HIT
Coordinator is responsible for the HIT Commission’s compliance to the Open Meeting Act.
4.1.4 State Government HIT Coordinator
The Michigan HIT Coordinator is a position that is housed within the Michigan Department of
Community Health (MDCH), Health Information Technology Office and reports directly to the
Chief Deputy Director of MDCH. With Michigan’s strong history of state government
involvement in health information, this position has been in place for over three years and is well
established in the MDCH organizational structure. Michigan’s HIT Coordinator is positioned to
guide state government involvement in all Michigan HIT and HIE programs as well as related
programs funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, including the
federal broadband programs.
The role of the state HIT Coordinator will be to ensure that State of Michigan government is
sufficiently represented and involved in HIE throughout Michigan. Michigan’s HIT Coordinator,
Beth Nagel, is the manager for the Michigan HIT Commission and will play an integral role in
ensuring that the Michigan HIT Commission fulfills all roles and responsibilities through the
coordinated governance model. The HIT Coordinator is a key liaison and point of coordination
between the Michigan HIT Commission and the State of Michigan and HIT Commission
representatives to the MiHIN Governance Board.
The Michigan HIT Coordinator is also responsible for the integration of the State of Michigan’s
public health reporting systems and the Medicaid information systems with the MiHIN. Further,
the Michigan HIT Coordinator is charged with ensuring that the state of Michigan government is
appropriately involved in all HIT and HIE related activities in Michigan.
The Michigan HIT Coordinator serves on Michigan’s Regional HIT Extension Center’s Executive
Board and is a member of the Michigan Medicaid EHR Incentive Program steering committee,
as well as a partner in Michigan’s HIT Workforce initiatives.
