behind-the-scenes work of building out a governance structure, and along with creating local policies and agreements that comply with federal privacy and security standards to support the secure electronic exchange of health information, brings it all into focus and sets it into high gear now.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What You Should Know: U.S. Virgin
