  2. Health Information Technology (IT) has become an important topic within the health community in the last several years. Technology has become intertwined in all facets of our lives from smart phones to simple robotics but the health care industry has not fully incorporated all these new technologies in every day practices. However the health care industry is actively working toward a systems concept that allows interoperability as the ones currently in fielded act as independent closed systems. The health care community aims to integrate tools such as tablets, laptops, and Open Source Software (OSS) applications that allow for paperless records to include increasing accuracy in the hospital room with the capture of patient data. Many states must update their status in relation to the Strategic and Operation Plan under the State Cooperative Agreement. Key items of importance are the following; governance, policy/legal, technical infrastructure, business and technical operations, communications/marketing, and relationships to Medicaid/Medicare. Moving forward it is essential to compare and contrast different states to provide a larger view of the status of being compliant with the Strategic and Operation Plan under the State Cooperative Agreement.
