DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): The Idaho Rural Connection (RC) is a partnership among nine independently governed hospitals and a university. Six of the hospitals are rural and are designated as Critical Access Hospitals. The RC focuses on patients as they move back and forth between rural and urban and acute and rehabilitation facilities. Health outcomes are improved through voluntary adoption of standards of care and a rigorous performance improvement process. RC is hampered in furthering its mission in two critical ways: The inability to easily share information for performance improvement; and The inability to rapidly exchange patient information. RC members recognize health information technology (HIT) as the vehicle that can reduce the identified problems and wants to deploy HIT that will include an electronic health record (EHR). This proposed HIT Planning Project is innovative in that it involves two small, rural communities in intense community planning processes. Planning teams are representative of end-users (i.e. physicians, nurses, and pharmacists), Information Technology (IT) experts, and patients. It is expected that by undertaking planning activities in more than one community, similarities and unique differences will be identified. The resulting HIT implementation plan for RC will accommodate those similarities and differences. The RC will be then be prepared to implement electronic health data sharing in the pilot communities and finally among all RC members.

描述（由申请人提供）：爱达荷州农村连接（RC）是九个独立管理的医院和一所大学之间的伙伴关系。其中6家医院位于农村，被指定为关键医院。克罗地亚共和国的重点是病人，因为他们来回移动之间的农村和城市和急性和康复设施。通过自愿采用护理标准和严格的业绩改进进程，保健成果得到改善。 RC在推进其使命方面受到两个关键方面的阻碍：无法轻松共享信息以提高性能;以及无法快速交换患者信息。RC成员认识到卫生信息技术（HIT）是可以减少已发现问题的工具，并希望部署包括电子健康记录（EHR）在内的HIT。这个拟议的HIT规划项目是创新的，因为它涉及两个小的农村社区在激烈的社区规划过程。规划团队代表最终用户（即医生、护士和药剂师）、信息技术（IT）专家和患者。预计通过承诺， 规划活动在一个以上的社区，相似之处和独特的差异将被确定。由此产生的驻地协调员HIT实施计划将兼顾这些相似之处和不同之处。然后，驻地协调员将准备在试点社区并最终在所有驻地协调员成员之间实施电子健康数据共享。
