Where HIEs’ funding comes from

As HITECH Act funding expires, health information exchange organizations are working to support themselves through other means, according to a recent survey from the eHealth Initiative.

Eighty-three of the 135 survey respondents collect dues and fees from members, and for 45 respondents, this income is enough to sustain the HIE financially. The other organizations rely on other sources of funding, including public or private funds, the sale of services or technology or transaction fees levied on information exchanges.

Even though not all respondents rely on dues and fees from members, the majority (89 organizations) see member contributions as the best way to keep an HIE financially afloat.
