Apr 18 : Electronic Medical Record Initiative

The MCRHC submitted a grant proposal to the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration to assess the needs and current capacity of area providers to access electronic medical records.  The project will study ways to build capacity and network infrastructure and the potential to share administrative resources.  The project will include a study of the barriers to access, current status of transition to electronic medical records, patient volume, strategies for increased access, available incentives for participation, potential collaborating network partners, participation in the Regional Health Information Organization (RHIO) and cooperative purchasing opportunities.
