What is The National Health Information Network (NHIN)?

The National Health Information Network (NHIN) facilitates the exchange of secure electronic health records (EHR) messages. The NHIN was first launched to improve the efficacy and quality of healthcare by establishing policies, services, and standards for health information exchange.

The National Health Information Network (NHIN) was first established as a project in 2004. It falls under the umbrella of the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) as a network of networks. The purpose of the NHIN is to connect medical providers, patients, and other parties who are all part of the healthcare support system for Health Information Technology (HIT).

What Are the Benefits of the Health Information Network (NHIN)?

The NHIN supports the secure exchange of health information at local, state, and national levels. This level of support and interoperability is important to the success of the health information infrastructure. Here are just a few of the important benefits of the Health Information Network for your practice. 

The NHIN represents a foundation that supports the successful exchange of information across the healthcare network. On an ongoing basis, the NHIN Workgroup makes recommendations to the ONC for policies that fall into the NHIN framework.
