Research and Data Partnerships

Better health depends on better evidence, and better evidence depends on data that represents every community. Through our research and data partnerships, MNSHINE brings together health information exchange (HIE) infrastructure, modern data standards, and collaboration with research and public health partners. Together, we are working to strengthen measurement and reporting, and to open new pathways for providers of every size to take part in research that shapes health care in Minnesota.

Minnesota Electronic Health Record Consortium

MNSHINE is a contributing member of the Minnesota Electronic Health Record Consortium (MN-EHRC) and is developing pathways for small and mid-sized provider organizations to take part in its research and public health projects.
