Oregon Community Health Information Network In today's perplexing environment of substantially low compensation and rebate limitations, many independently operating health care organizations find it advantageous to support the community health information network. The Community Health Information Network (CHIN) consists of a combination of telecommunications and networking capabilities that connects healthcare stakeholders within a community (Tan & Payton 2010). Most community health information networks are primarily focused on serving the needs of the private sector and the healthcare industry. Community health information networks offer the opportunity to meet the health information requirements of the general public and to integrate community interest with the professional and clinical needs of the healthcare sector. The Oregon Community Health Information Network (OCHIN) transforms into a Community Health Center (CHC) information technology center that supports an electronic health record (EHR) network with a master catalog of patients. This document discusses the vendors that contribute to OCHIN. The goal of the Oregon Community Health Information Network (OCHIN) research is to discuss the residents served by OCHIN, provide an overview of the information contained in OCHIN, explain OCHIN's current operational status, and evaluate OCHIN's effectiveness compared to community help. The research provides relevant information on the projects implemented by OCHIN and the collaborations in which it has actively participated. The Oregon Community Health Information Network (OCHIN) is a nonprofit collaboration of Oregon's public and private health systems. OCHIN's mission is to improve access to care... at the heart of the charter... sustainability should be built together. OCHIN is banking on the fact that sustainability can be achievable as the network develops, grows and demonstrates its value to a diverse group of shareholders. OCHIN's goal is to support strategic relationships between OCHIN, funders, researchers, community health centers, and decision makers. OCHIN's activities, resourceful ideas and information means, as well as a proven track record of contributions to practice transformation and improvements, will define OCHIN's success. This research focused on discussing the populations served by OCHIN, provided a summary of the information contained in OCHIN, explained OCHIN's current operational status, and evaluated OCHIN's effectiveness in community service. He also provided relevant information on the projects implemented by OCHIN and the collaborations in which he participated.
