Connecticut’s health information exchange, close to launching after years of delays and false starts, has signed 25 participants, including two of the state’s largest health systems, its organizers said Tuesday.
Yale New Haven Health and Hartford HealthCare are among the first group of participants, along with ProHealth Physicians, Community Health Network, Community Medical Group, and CT Healthlink, a health information network run by the Connecticut State Medical Society.

A top health official said Tuesday that the launch was “imminent” but did not provide a timetable.
