4.5.9 Stakeholder Endorsement
Stakeholder endorsement and alignment of MiHIN Privacy and Security goals is essential to
ensure success of the project as a whole. For the MiHIN Shared Services that means
“beginning with the end in mind,” and creating a vision of the project at its completion.
Stakeholders value and understand the difference they are able to make through
engagement.
Stakeholder views feed into and influence strategic planning.
Engagement is characterized by an open and honest dialogue
It will be the purview of the Michigan HIT Commission and the Michigan Department of
Community Health (MDCH) to ensure stakeholder endorsement of the MiHIN Shared Services
privacy and security policies and procedures. MDCH and the Michigan HIT Commission will
undertake this activity with the MiHIN Shared Services Governance Board as the policies and
procedures are further developed.
4.5.10 Oversight and Enforcement
Long-term policies will be developed and implemented to govern the oversight of statewide HIE
and enforcement as the technology progresses. The Michigan HIT Coordinator is responsible
for working with the MiHIN Shared Services Governance Board and the Michigan HIT
Commission to develop a plan for complying with all applicable state and federal laws. This will
be an evolving process as the applicable laws evolve and the privacy and security policies of
the MiHIN Shared Services become finalized and formalized. The Michigan HIT Coordinator
will explore multiple mechanisms for enforcing the applicable laws and will present this plan to
the MiHIN Shared Services Governance Board and the Michigan HIT Commission for review,
deliberation and approval.
Initially, oversight and enforcement for Michigan’s sub-state HIEs will be provided with
assistance from a number of state and federal sources- primarily being federal regulations and
laws and State HIE Cooperative Agreement guidance. The MiHIN Shared Services Privacy and
Security Officers will oversee the day to day operations of privacy and security issues related to
the MiHIN shared services, as well as offering privacy and security oversight to Michigan’s sub-
state HIEs that are connected to the MiHIN Shared Services through the sub-state HIE Privacy
and Security Officers. Primarily, the MiHIN will begin by focusing on federal laws, such as:
HITECH, Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health
HIPAA, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
42 CFR Part 2 Substance Abuse (Confidentiality of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Patient
Records)
FERPA, Family Education Rights and Privacy Act
