What is the Florida HIE / eHealth Exchange and why does it matter?

The Florida HIE / eHealth Exchange is a key health information exchange infrastructure in Florida. Agencies participating in HIE activities must meet specific cybersecurity requirements.

Does Florida have breach notification requirements beyond HIPAA?
