Achieving electronic health information exchange (HIE) through the application of health information technology (HIT) is one of the cornerstones of the overall healthcare reform strategy in California. Effective application of HIT and the implementation of interoperable HIE are key strategies to achieve the goals of better health care outcomes, efficiencies in the delivery of healthcare, and strengthening our emergency and disaster response preparedness. California State government is involved in many initiatives and projects that support these goals. This site will provide you with the latest news on what state entities are doing to achieve these goals as well as key links to national efforts to promote and implement HIE and HIT.
The California Health and Human Services Agency serves as the lead agency on HIE and HIT issues for the State. CHHSA works with the State Chief Information Officer (OCIO), the Department of Managed Care and the Business, Transportation and Housing Agency to oversee the State’s HIE and HIT related efforts.
Return to this site for continuing updates and new information on all major HIE/HIT activities. In addition to the latest news and developments, you will be able to obtain more information through links to the major HIE/HIT efforts underway in California.
