This grant, effective Sept. 1, is one of two planning grants awarded this year to promote a statewide electronic infrastructure that will streamline the secure and confidential electronic exchange of patient data among healthcare providers in a faster, safer and more efficient manner to improve the quality of care. Grants for seven other regions in the state were awarded last year.

“This is important work and has implications for other regions of the state, as well. Ultimately, when the HIE is completed, it will dramatically improve the delivery of healthcare services and patient safety and reduce operational costs.”
