Overhage will focus on using his expertise in medical informatics and health information exchange to influence policymaking at the national level.

Apple also served as one of the founders of the Indiana Software Association and the Indiana Information Technology Association, both predecessors of what is now known as TechPoint.
The Indiana Health Information Network serves more than 80 hospitals and 19,000 physicians. An IHIE collaboration also operates the Central Indiana Beacon Community, one of 17 HITECH Act-funded regional collaboratives to establish and disseminate best practices for the use of health information technology.
