A $250K grant aims to improve health information exchange for 14 rural hospitals and other care sites in Arkansas.
Arkansas Blue Cross and Blue Shield has announced it has awarded $250,000 to the Arkansas Rural Health Partnership (ARHP) to further expand and enhance its health information exchange (HIE).
The Arkansas Rural Health Partnership consists of 14 hospitals, two federally qualified health centers, and 108 affiliated clinics in southern Arkansas. The HIE also works with the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) on public health issues and health education.
HIEs are instrumental for connecting communities and ensuring patient medical records are available at all times. However, for rural hospitals and providers, participating in an HIE is not always an actuality.
