Abstract:
The shortfalls of documenting health care services in paper medical records were realized broadly after Hurricane Katrina hit the gulf coast in 2005. Mississippi has since enacted policies to promote electronic health information exchange (HIE). In 2010, the Mississippi Health Information Network (MS-HIN) was authorized by law as the state entity to coordinate a statewide HIE. MS-HIN is up for reauthorization by state policymakers in 2019. This issue brief outlines MS-HIN's progress and summarizes policy developments to inform the continued growth of the Network and the policy debates.
