Abstract
Regional Health Information Organizations (RHIOs) have developed at a rapid pace ever since the genesis of the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) in 2004 as well as the legislative mandate for EHR adoption and meaningful use of such technology by the Health Information Technology and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act of 2009. With the intent of improving the health status of the population, this enhanced availability and exchange of health information creates an unavoidable risk for medical group practices at various levels within regional health information exchanges (HIEs).
