Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: HIE enabler/readiness is considered one of the categories and focuses on coordinating and enabling ongoing regional HIE initiatives.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: The NHIN is a structure that will bring together the state-level HIE and regional HIOs when all stakeholders are using the evolving information exchange standards. The state-level HIE programs have the responsibility to organize and facilitate the implementation of interoperability standards with stakeholders through state-wide operational planning. The role of the state-level HIE program can adapt to the state's needs and priorities based on characteristics of providers from evaluation of current HIT use. The agencies such as public health and Medicaid services within the state government are stakeholders and will be involved with HIE services. The success for the NHIN is dependent on the state-wide HIEs.
