Ky. Awarded Health Network Grant
KENTUCKY....
From funds awarded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, Kentucky has won a federal grant of nearly $10 million to help create a statewide health information network. Janie Miller, secretary of the state Cabinet for Health and Family Services, says the grant will help her agency begin planning the network. The goal is to eventually make it accessible to health care providers where patient information can be shared, improving access to medical records and reducing costs.
