Rhode Island is transitioning its Health Information Exchange (HIE) to a more unified model, bringing technology, operations, and management under a single organization – CRISP Shared Services (CSS). CSS, which already provides the technology infrastructure for the HIE, has been selected through a competitive 2025 procurement process to serve as Rhode Island’s Regional Health Information Organization (RHIO).
This shift is designed to modernize and strengthen the HIE by streamlining technology, governance, and operations within one entity. As part of this transition, the Rhode Island Quality Institute (RIQI), which has operated the HIE since 2007, will be sunset on June 30, 2026, along with the CurrentCare™ platform.
Beginning July 1, 2026, CSS will assume full responsibility as the state-designated operator of the Rhode Island HIE.
CRISP Shared Services (CSS) serves as the operator of the Rhode Island HIE and as its designated RHIO. As a nonprofit organization, CSS provides technology infrastructure and strategic expertise to support HIE functions. Its proven shared services model, used across multiple states and regions, helps reduce costs while enhancing the resilience and sustainability of the HIE.
Because CSS is already the technology provider for Rhode Island’s HIE, this transition enables continuity of services while strengthening the overall system with a fully integrated structure.
More information will be sent to participating organizations by email in early June.
We will continue to update this website with information as we move closer to the July 1, 2026 transition.
