Comments: Kentucky created its e-Health Network in 2005, to develop a secure electronic network. The
network oversees development of ways to use health information technology to improve the health
and lives of state residents.
The network is providing decision support on security of protected information, electronic data
interchange, and clinical practice software packages. This includes the feasibility of developing a
software purchasing alliance to decrease the cost of software, and tax incentives to encourage
network members purchase software that meets state standards.
