Summary

This report outlines a taxonomy of current process models and discusses how the differences and similarities in these models impact the technical approaches and factors that shape these approaches. It identifies and defines the key components of the prototypical regional health information organization (RHIO) architecture and forecasts the future direction of this market. In assessing this emerging market, what conclusions can be drawn from the experience of the RHIO pioneers to help newly formed RHIOs, and the healthcare IT vendors that support them, make informed EHR technology design and selection decisions?
