Overview
Mission
The organization's purpose is to enhance the quality, safety and efficiency of health care for South Carolina residents, and thereby improve health outcomes in the state, by implementing and expanding a state-wide health information exchange network, known as the South Carolina Health Information Exchange or "SCHIEx." The organization will also reduce the burden on state government by assuming responsibility for SCHIEx from the state of South Carolina. The organization additionally does business under the trade name, SCHIEx
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
