Welcome to the Health Information Exchange Coordination Committee Web Pages
In July 2009, Governor Crist (.pdf 50KB) designated the Health Information Exchange Coordinating Committee (HIECC) to lead the stimulus-funded health information technology initiatives. The HIECC was organized by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration during the fall of 2007 to advise and support the Agency in developing and implementing a strategy to establish a privacy-protected, secure, and integrated statewide network for the exchange of electronic health records among authorized physicians.
The HIECC provides guidance to the Agency as it develops and implements specific programs for the creation of a statewide health information exchange network, the adoption of electronic medical record systems, and ensuring the privacy and security of health information. The HIECC also assists the Agency in the administration of its grants programs for funding health information technology by reviewing and evaluating applicant proposals and by making funding recommendations pursuant to grant program requirements.
The HIECC is currently reviewing documents related to the State Health Information Exchange Cooperative Agreement Program between the Agency and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology. These documents include:
