MSV member is appointed to serve on statewide HIE initiative
29 December 2011
Sandy L. Chung, M.D., FAAP, FACHE, president and physician for Fairfax Pediatric associates and Medical Society of Virginia (MSV) member, was invited to serve on the newly formed statewide Health Information Exchange (HIE) governing body. The statewide HIE will be a secure, confidential electronic system to support the exchange of patient records among health care providers in Virginia if the patient chooses to participate.
In November, the Virginia Department of Health awarded the statewide HIE to Community Health Alliance (CHA). As its first step, CHA is forming this independent governing body to set the overall strategic direction for the statewide HIE and guide the implementation of the technical and policy critical to a successful health information exchange.
