Chris Smith, Director of NHIN and HIE Services at MEDNET was recently interviewed in Federal Computer Week Magazine about the impact of NHIN on the healthcare community and the impact of NHIN, the Nationwide Health Information Network.

“This nationwide network infrastructure is really winning as a way to link all kinds of healthcare organizations to the federal agencies involved in healthcare provision”, said Smith.
