See http://healthinformationexchanges.org/southeast-michigan-health-information-exchange/. Now this press release comes out where they state that the The Southeast Michigan Beacon Community is starting an HIE. SEMHIE isn't even mentioned in the press release. PR Newswire – 18 hrs ago DETROIT, Feb. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Southeast Michigan Beacon Community (SEMBC) announced today that it has started implementation of BeaconLink2Health, an all-new Health Information Exchange (HIE). BeaconLink2Health will deliver exchange capabilities previously unavailable in Southeast Michigan for health care providers to trusted, secure access to comprehensive patient electronic Protected Health Information (PHI) for improved patient care. This will be achieved through a community-level patient record of care.

Insurance companies controlling health information exchanges is a major concern of mine. What do you think they are going to do with all that patient data?????????
