The History of ApeniMED

ApeniMED was founded by CEO John Fraser in 2007 to further his vision of automating the exchange of health information with the emerging Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN). As technology began to radically transform the framework for delivering health care, Fraser and a team of healthcare technology experts realized a need to provide health data platforms that enabled flexible and secure information exchange. ApeniMED has been serving as an experienced and trusted provider of these services even before legislation created a mandate for the healthcare industry to adopt Health Information Exchange (HIE) practices.

Originally founded in Minneapolis, Minnesota as MEDNETUSA, ApeniMED began by building information exchanges in local Minnesota communities. This effort led to the creation of our first health information exchange, HIE-Bridge™, which was built in collaboration with the Community Health Information Collaborative (CHIC). Since then, ApeniMED has expanded its offerings to other states, U.S. territories and federal agencies.
