There are now 148 hospitals, 665 outpatient facilities, 298 skilled nursing facilities, and 44 physician organizations connected to MiHIN. The system routes information for more than 13 million patients, and participating hospitals send notification for approximately 99% of all admissions in the state.

The network effect is a phenomenon whereby increased numbers of people or participants improve the value of a good or service. The Michigan Health Information Network is made up of entities who join forces across the continuum of care to solve for health. One of the most efficient ways to solve complex problems and expand solutions is to increase participation in a network.

MiHIN participants bring diverse perspectives from across Michigan to create a shared vision for improving statewide health information exchange. A network of connectivity between all care providers in all care settings is the best way to improve collaboration and care for vulnerable populations. As the network grows, capabilities are strengthened, and more care teams have access to insights at every stage of a patient’s healthcare journey.
