The document discusses connecting healthcare organizations through a single network connection rather than multiple complex connections. It describes connecting clinics, hospitals, specialty centers, pharmacies, and labs through a regional health information exchange network supported by services for network infrastructure, directory management, security, certification and compliance, implementation, and customer support. The network is presented as infrastructure to connect any organization securely rather than a system of record or a storage system limited to certain members.
