Governance & Accountability
A Framework for Trusted Interoperability
Effective health information exchange depends on trust, transparency, clear accountability, and meaningful stakeholder engagement. MiHIN is an independent nonprofit organization governed by its Board of Directors and managed by its CEO and executive leadership team.
MiHIN’s governance and accountability framework provides strong organizational oversight while supporting collaboration with healthcare organizations, public health agencies, policymakers, and other stakeholders across Michigan. This structure helps MiHIN remain responsive to evolving healthcare priorities while advancing secure, trusted statewide interoperability.
Board of Directors
The MiHIN Board of Directors provides strategic, fiduciary, and corporate governance for the organization. The Board establishes MiHIN’s strategic direction, oversees financial stewardship and organizational performance, and ensures MiHIN fulfills its mission and responsibilities.
Board members bring perspectives and expertise from across Michigan’s healthcare and health information ecosystem, including health systems, physician organizations, state agencies, behavioral health organizations, federally qualified health centers, payers, and other sectors.
Executive Leadership
MiHIN’s CEO and executive leadership team are responsible for executing the organization’s strategy and managing its operations.
Executive leadership oversees organizational performance, services, partnerships, technology, workforce, and the operation of MiHIN’s statewide health information network while evaluating emerging opportunities, risks, and developments that may affect the organization or the communities it serves.
Statewide Collaboration
MiHIN works closely with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, the Michigan Health Information Technology Commission, other state agencies, healthcare organizations, and industry partners to advance statewide interoperability and improve health outcomes.
Statewide health IT priorities, policy recommendations, and partner perspectives provide important context for MiHIN’s executive leadership as the organization evaluates opportunities, responsibilities, and priorities in support of its mission.
Stakeholder Engagement
Meaningful stakeholder engagement is fundamental to MiHIN’s work. Through advisory groups and collaborative forums, including the MiHIN Operations Advisory Committee and other stakeholder workgroups, MiHIN gathers operational insight, technical expertise, and feedback from participants across Michigan’s healthcare ecosystem.
These forums provide valuable perspectives that help inform MiHIN’s programs, services, priorities, and continued collaboration across the statewide network.
