The MiHIN Resource Center will provide guidance, direction, and coordination to regional and statewide health information exchange (HIE) initiatives in the state. It will represent HIE regional efforts at the state and national levels, promote adoption of standards, and identify resources to enable HIE organizations to achieve their goals.  The MiHIN Resource Center is a joint effort of Michigan State University and the Michigan Public Health Institute funded by a state grant in July 2007. The MiHIN Resource Center will support the State of Michigan's role as convener and collaborator for Michigan HIE.

The Resource Center will have the ability to bring different regional exchange initiatives together by providing parameters, guidelines and support, and bridging gaps between regional efforts that are in various stages of development.
