CRHC recognizes that there are imminent challenges in the rural setting to implementing and adopting health information technology (HIT). Among these challenges are the resources it takes to adopt new technology and the internal expertise to assess current workflow and find viable HIT solutions that will meet long-term objectives. CRHC’s Technology for Healthcare Excellence (THE) Consortium provides cost-effective solutions to solve rural provider HIT needs through group-purchasing solutions for hardware and software, assessments, road-mapping, training, cost-savings, and on-going support for meeting the meaningful use criteria and accessing ARRA funding.
