The Delta Regional Authority and Office of Health Information Technology in Arkansas will make funds available to assist rural hospitals in connecting to the statewide electronic health record database, according to a UALR report.
Up to $10,000 per facility will be available through the SHARE Connectivity Program to critical access and small rural hospitals across 18 counties, according to the report.
"It is a health information utility that will actually allow you're [sic] clinical information to follow you from one point of care to the next, if these points of care are connected to SHARE," said Director of the Arkansas Office of Health Information Technology Ray Scott in the report.
