Health information exchange infrastructure requires coordinated regional leadership, not siloed institutional adoption

Wiggs documents that Texas healthcare leaders view health information exchange (HIE) and data interoperability as strategic imperatives requiring board-level governance and cross-sector collaboration, not technical implementation alone. The repeated emphasis on leadership positions (board chairs, CEOs, chief analytics officers) across competing organizations signals that HIE success depends on aligned institutional commitment and shared governance models.
