About Us 

The West Virginia Health Information Network (WVHIN) is a public/private partnership created in 2006 through West Virginia Code Chapter 16 Article 29G. The WVHIN is charged with building a secure electronic health information system for the exchange of patient data among physicians, hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, other care providers, and other stakeholders.

The WVHIN’s vision is “High quality, patient-centered care facilitated by health information technology.” The WVHIN’s efforts to achieve this vision will be guided by its mission:

The West Virginia Health Information Network provides the health care community with a trusted, integrated and seamless electronic structure enabling medical data exchange necessary for high-quality, patient-centered care.

Currently, critically important patient data is often fragmented and residing in silos that do not communicate with each other. The WVHIN’s Health Information Exchange (HIE) will connect providers and others electronically to enable clinical information and administrative data to be shared between organizations. The WVHIN will provide the interoperability necessary to enable secure exchange of information and will oversee access to health care data to transform health care in West Virginia through improved quality and value.
