CHIME and eHealth Initiative have joined forces to create a Health Information Exchange (HIE) Guide for CIOs. The guide looks to be fairly comprehensive, starting with the background of HIE and continuing to key contract elements with a Health Information Organization (HIO).
I'd also recommend that CIOs explore the toolkits, checklists and other resources being developed by the HIMSS HIE Committee and Workgroup. And this includes the book, Guide to Establishing a RHIO with its review of collaboration and the legal entity and governance models.
If you still have questions after exploring these resources, or need assistance with administrative and governance issues, you can always leave a comment or contact me directly.
