21 Governance How do we address early adopters and their capital investment? What are the appropriate representative groups to elect the representative board? How can we efficiently elect representatives to the board? What are the potential conflicts of interest and how can we anticipate and attempt to avoid them? What will be the budget and fee-setting process and required approvals? What are the data use cases and what will be the process to evolve data use cases?

22 Liability What liability and indemnification obligations will the HIE have to participants? What liability and indemnification obligations will each member have to all other members? How will liability and indemnification by third-party vendors be addressed?

23 Research and Secondary Uses What level of control does each participant have over their contributed data? Who will review and approve proposed research and secondary uses of data? Will each member have the right to opt-in or opt-out of their contributed data being used for research and secondary uses?

24 Privacy and Security What are the terms of the HIE s business associate agreement? What is required for the proposed data use cases and how will this be managed? How will violations of the privacy and security protocols be addressed? What happens if there is a data breach?

25 Value Proposition / Fees / Sustainability How does the governance model address the various groups and their respective value proposition for participating in the HIE? How are budgets and fees set and approved and do members have a circuit breaker for fee increases? Does the structure need to address a run for the door and, if so, how is it addressed?
