On March 20, 2026, Converge Health Iowa announced that it will serve as the designated entity operating the Iowa Health Information Exchange under the State’s Rural Health Transformation initiative. 

Orion Health is supporting this next phase of Iowa’s statewide exchange with a standards-based interoperability platform designed to enable secure, scalable data exchange aligned to state and federal requirements. The platform will support clinical, public health, and community-based information sharing across diverse provider environments. 

State-level modernization efforts increasingly require infrastructure that performs reliably amid regulatory and operational complexity. Orion Health’s role is to provide the interoperability foundation that enables governance alignment, continuity of exchange, and long-term sustainability as healthcare ecosystems evolve. 

This engagement reflects Orion Health’s continued support of state and regional programs modernizing healthcare data infrastructure to strengthen coordination, accountability, and visibility across care settings.
