The call to action from the U.S. Government, patients and providers alike, is to work together to implement smart technology that will increase efficiencies across our healthcare system to reduce costs and improve access to care without compromising quality. In this panel discussion, two rural-based healthcare organizations will share strategies and perspectives on how they are working within their community of providers to adopt interoperable health IT to enable meaningful information sharing.
Discussion points include:
- Strategic objectives and information sharing models for rural-based healthcare organizations
- Improving the quality of EMR and portal initiatives sharing information across multiple disparate systems
- Business drivers and expected results for quality and access to care, process and workflow improvements, preventative care and chronic disease management
- Private and public funding options, strategic alignment and timelines to achieve success
