ONC Pushes Development of HIE Governance Models
Two private-sector initiatives to promote health information exchange received a total of $480,000 in federal grants to collaborate with the government on developing governance models for exchange activities.

The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology at HHS awarded the not-for-profit collaborative DirectTrust $280,000; and the EHR/HIE Interoperability Workgroup, a coalition spearheaded by the New York eHealth Collaborative, $200,000.
