Team Description
The state of Arkansas has been granted the opportunity through a subcontract to the Privacy and Security Solutions contract to perform an environmental scan of privacy and security issues which may serve as a barrier to sharing health information. In order to improve the health and healthcare systems of Arkansas, technological advancements must be utilized to optimally incorporate an electronic health record as a resource to the healthcare delivery system in the state. The Privacy and Security contract allows Arkansas to assess privacy issues as well as develop a practical implementation plan to address any applicable barriers to health information exchange. This project is a vital step forward toward improving the healthcare of Arkansans and the healthcare delivery system of the state.
