IEHIO’s purpose is to connect people with data by coordinating data sharing services not only to improve treatment at the point of care, but also to address the psycho-social determinants of health to support whole-person care efforts that improve the health of all residents in the Inland Empire.

IEHIO is a non-profit organization supporting interoperability for healthcare and the community.

IEHIO’s Empower Care Initiative, funded by Physicians Foundation, supports a limited amount of solo and small-group medical offices in Riverside County in integrating Social Drivers of Health (SDOH) screening and resource navigation into patient care.

Running from 2025–2026, the initiative helps providers identify social needs, connect patients to community resources, and enhance whole-person care through streamlined screening, and referrals.

IEHIO invites you to join our Empower Care: Social Drivers of Health Initiative—designed to support your practice at no cost in addressing the social factors that influence patient health beyond the clinic.

IEHIO partners with Manifest MedEx (MX), California’s largest nonprofit health data network to enhance data sharing and care coordination across Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. MX currently connects over 3,000 healthcare organizations, 140+ hospitals, and 17 health plans, providing critical health data infrastructure for more than 38 million Californians. As a Qualified Health Information Organization (QHIO),

MX supports healthcare providers in meeting California’s Data Exchange Framework (DxF) requirements, improving whole-person care, and achieving CalAIM objectives.
