Diagram depicts the HSX board and committee structure. HSX’s staff works closely in coordinating, managing, taking guidance and direction from, and reporting to these bodies. Overall, the board of trustees and HSX committees are highly engaged in HSX’s strategic and tactical activities.
HSX participates in Pennsylvania Patient and Provider Network (P3N), and the Sequoia Project (national health information exchange project of eHealth Exchange). In addition, it works with local authorities and agencies and with the federal Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (an entity within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services).
HSX also is part of the P3N Advisory Board and NJHIN Advisory Board.
