6.1 MiHIN Workgroups
It is well recognized that stakeholder participation in the planning and implementation of HIE
maximizes success. The State of Michigan can attest to this as the State successfully used this
approach to develop the Conduit to Care, the initial version of the Strategic Plan, in 2006. At
that time, over 200 stakeholders worked together to develop consensus on the initial direction
for HIE planning in Michigan.
When the State of Michigan sought funding from the ONC to support further state-wide health
information exchange in the fall of 2009, it was a priority for the State of Michigan to engage a
broad mix of stakeholders for their feedback, input and buy-in. The State leveraged the success
of the Conduit to Care in developing the MiHIN Strategic Plan and many of the same individuals
have been in involved in both initiatives and a similar workgroup process.
To encourage adoption for statewide services, the State opted to conduct the Strategic Planning
using the five ONC-based domains as the focus of Workgroups comprising stakeholders from
across the state. This phase of the MiHIN initiative was launched on November 10, 2009, with
the MiHIN Workgroup Kick-off meeting. Janet Olszewski, Director of the Michigan Department
of Community Health and Ken Theis, the CIO of the State of Michigan hosted the event. Over
200 stakeholders representing all stakeholder organizations as well as the nine regions of the
state were in attendance.
Workgroups based on the ONC domains were formed to make recommendations for the
Strategic and Operational plans. The key roles of each Workgroup are listed below.
Governance – Key role is to develop the Governance Model to be used to implement the
MiHIN and approve all of the deliverables produced by the other workgroups to assure
all stakeholders’ perspectives are appropriately represented.
Business Operations – Key role is to recommend HIE business/clinical priorities, use
cases to be included in the initial pilots and expected value.
Technical – Key role is to recommend technical design, standards, architecture and
approaches to HIE solutions.
Finance – Key role is to recommend budgets and a financial sustainability model.
Privacy and Security – Key role is to recommend HIE privacy and security protections of
health information and on-going process for legal guidance.
The diagram below shows work structure, stakeholder input and interaction with and reporting to
the State of Michigan. It also portrays how the Governance Workgroup was responsible for
approving all the deliverables from the other Workgroups.
