title: Arkansas experience: between the government & the private sector.
abstract: Officials in many communities, states and regions are trying to establish networks to electronically exchange administrative and clinical data. Today, however, few examples of truly operational healthcare information networks (HINs) exist. Because of governance, control and cost, efforts toward integrating clinical information have not progressed. These issues are most apparent in the struggle to establish community health information networks (CHINs).
