Georgia Health Information Exchange Network
• DCH has facilitated the development and implementation of
Georgia’s statewide health information exchange network
• DCH collaborated with the Georgia Health Information Network Inc.
(GaHIN), a non-profit organization, to establish the statewide HIE
– GaHIN is a Network of Networks Model. Health systems and regional HIEs connect hospitals,
physician practices and other providers to GaHIN
– Not a central repository of clinical data. Information remains with the treating provider and only
flows when there is authorization
– Established governance and policy framework to support Network
– DCH transitioned the HIE operations and technology to GaHIN in 2014
