The MiHIN is essential to ensuring that Michigan's health care providers can utilize Electronic Health Records or EHRs in a meaningful way that allows for a patient's health information to be available when they need it most - at the point of care. The MiHIN is fundamentally the infrastructure that mobilizes existing electronic health information in a manner that allows healthcare providers to access and exchange it regardless of individual technology choices.

Health Information Technology has become a major focus of the healthcare industry in the last few years and has received considerable attention recently because  American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009  allocates funding to the  Office of the National Coordinator for HIT  for programs to promote Health Information Exchange, the adoption and meaningful use of EHRs and health information technology workforce development.
