WyHIO Update

My friends in Wyoming continue to move forward with their creation of a RHIO to support a statewide EHR system. WyHIO received an initial grant earlier this year and has just entered a subcontract with RTI International, Inc. (RTI) to address privacy and security policy questions affecting interoperable health information exchange (HIE).

The formal WyHIO board is preparing for their first meeting and they will soon start interviewing for the executive director position. I anticipate new proposed legislation will be next!

Hold on to your hats, Wyoming, its going to be a wild ride!
