Rhode Island gets connected: State has plan to connect every provider,
Patient
Rhode Island is a state with 15 hospitals, 3,942 physicians and 1,545
square miles. You can drive across it on the diagonal-all 59 miles from
Westerly to Woonsocket-in just 67 minutes. But it is a state with giant
ambitions in deploying healthcare information technology, a complex
activity in which Rhode Island's tiny size gives it major advantages over
its sister states, according to key players in the IT drive.
A coalition composed of many of Rhode Island's top healthcare leaders is
working to connect every provider and, eventually, every patient's home in
the state, to a universal healthcare information infrastructure.

The Leapfrog
Group The Leapfrog Group is a Business Roundtable-sponsored
consortium of large purchasers of healthcare. The consortium recognizes
and rewards healthcare providers that implement certain practices
known to result in big leaps in patient safety and customer value.
We intend to show Leapfrog that MEMRI initiative meet the four criteria
for its support:
- There is overwhelming scientific evidence that a standardized
EMR will significantly reduce avoidable danger
- The implementation of a standardized EMR by the health industry
is feasible in the near term
- Consumers can readily appreciate the EMR's value
- Health plans, purchasers or consumers can easily ascertain the
presence or absence of EMR capabilities when selecting among health
care providers.

Kentucky Kentucky lawmakers have introduced House
and Senate
bills (HB375, SB108, 2002 legislative session) to create a board to seek federal and private grants for a new
electronic health network that could save the state, medical providers
and consumers millions of dollars every year. It costs about $7 to
process paper medical claims, a cost that the electronic network could
reduce to pennies. The University of Kentucky College of Medicine
and the University of Louisville are partners in the proposed network
and are already setting up electronic systems. The network would be
the first of its kind as a statewide system.
