How quickly is health information exchange (HIE) really moving these days, when it comes to connecting physicians in practice with health plans? The answer is, not as quickly as anyone would like, as Mary Franz sees it. Franz is executive director, health information technology, for L.A. Care Health Plan (Local Initiative Health Authority of Los Angeles County), a public entity and community-accountable health plan serving residents of Los Angeles County, California, through a variety of available plans, and covering more than 1.5 million covered lives in L.A. County.
