After reviewing the case study document and assigned reading for this module, answer the following questions:

If you were the health information manager, which HIE model would you choose for the Manchester Health Access Network (MHAN)?

Describe the type of model (centralized, decentralized/federated, hybrid).

Describe the type of exchange (directed, query-based, or consumer-mediated).

Why is this the best model for your network? In responding to this question, differentiate the cost, quality/efficiency, interoperability, time to implement, and security of the model you chose compared to those of other models.
