  • Marion County Medical Society/Healthy Ocala HIE in Marion County, Fla., to connect 500 physicians within the newly established HIE;
  • Central Jersey HIE Project in Middlesex County, N.J., to help establish a sustainable HIE;
  • Highlands Physicians IPA in Kingsport, Tenn., to exchange data from practicing physicians throughout northeast Tennessee and southwest Virginia; and
  • Southern Ohio Medical Center/SOMC Medical Care Foundation in Portsmouth, Ohio, to endorse the implementation to its hospital-owned and private physician practices.
