NwHIN Participants
The stakeholders that participate in the NwHIN will be four broad classes of organizations:
- Care delivery organizations (CDOs) that use electronic health records (EHRs).
- Consumer organizations that operate personal health records (PHRs) and other consumer applications.
- Health information exchanges (HIEs): multi-stakeholder entities that enable the movement of health-related data within state, regional or non-jurisdictional participant groups.
- Specialized participants: organizations that operate for specific purposes including, but not limited to, secondary users of data such as public health, research and quality assessment. The specialized nature of these organizations means that they may require only a subset of the shared architecture (standards, services and requirements), processes and procedures used by the other participants.
