The CSC-CFH consortium developed the NHIN architecture and implemented prototype networks in three health markets to demonstrate the real-life value of the NHIN.

Business Networks was responsible for developing the security and privacy architecture component of the NHIN architecture, and did a superlative job in completing this critical project deliverable. They made significant contributions to the rest of the CSC-CFH NHIN architecture, and were active participants in building a consensus across the diverse stakeholder group that made up the consortium. Their work was of high quality and appreciated by all members of our team."
