Rural health providers in North Dakota can now apply for new federal funding aimed at patient record technology.
North Dakota Health and Human Services opened applications this week for its Electronic Medical Record Enhancement program. The state says grants can go towards improving existing record systems, strengthening cybersecurity, adding technology such as remote monitoring, and improving documentation and patient care.
Up to $10 million is available in the first year, with individual awards expected around $500,000.
Eligible applicants include critical access hospitals, rural federally qualified health centers, rural hospital systems, long-term care facilities, and some tribal health facilities.
Applications are due July 29, and a technical assistance call for providers is set for July 8 through North Dakota Health and Human Services.
