Project Purpose Acquire and implement an Health Information Technology (HIT) network based at one of the State’s four Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs), Randolph Medical Center (RMC) in Roanoke, to improve health outcomes of cardiac patients in the three county service area. Cardiovascular Disease has been the number one killer since 1928. The network will leverage a Toshiba 64 Slice CT Scanner and other equipment previously acquired by RMC to improve health outcomes through prevention education, screening, treatment, and follow up. The project has four distinct tracks: an Electronic Health Record (EHR) for RMC, data links among the partners, a database for trending and analysis, and direct patient intervention to improve cardiac patient disease compliance.

Outcome Measures/Expectations Performance measures include High Blood Pressure Management, Cholesterol Management, Incidence of Smoking, Diabetes Compliance, and others. Over time, expectations include a significant reduction in cardiovascular disease in the three county service area.

Service Area Three counties in East Alabama: Randolph, Chambers, and Clay
