About Us

How the System Works:
The Rural Health IT Corporation Electronic Health Record system overlays your existing platforms and systems, using CCOW and HL–7 standards, allowing them all to talk to one another seamlessly, in real time, updating your data bases in all existing systems, from any one system.

Services: Creating Health Information Networks:
The Rural Health IT Corporation Clinical Portal system creates a Health Information Exchange or Regional Health Information Organization between providers, in a cost-effective manner. The system is scalable to be applied to a range of entities, from a small rural hospital to a large urban, state or province-wide network of hospitals, clinics and other providers. Rather than presenting data in a “read only” format, as other clinical portals have done in the past, this suite of applications permits bi-directional transfer of data, allowing communication between existing computer platforms, including HIT “silos.” This will extend the utility of those platforms, not just to providers, but to payers as well. This leads to increased patient safety, availability of information to practitioners at the point of care in real time, regardless of where the data resides, decreases in redundancy and improved documentation, for use in initiatives such as Pay-for-Performance programs.
