Beacon Community of the Inland Northwest
The Beacon Community of the Inland Northwest (BCIN) aims to increase care coordination for patients with diabetes in rural areas and expand the existing health information exchange network to provide a higher level of connectivity throughout the region. Specifically, the BCIN is working to achieve three objectives:
- Reduce emergency and inpatient care for diabetes and its complications
- Increase receipt of diabetes preventive health services
- Improve access to diabetes preventive health services information by public health agencies
