This planning project was designed to research the existing technology infrastructure, determine readiness to change, and create a network of individuals/organizations with a common goal of advancing the sharing of health care information electronically. The Aroostook Medical Center partnered with physician practices, home health agencies, pharmacies, nursing homes, hospitals, and others to create a plan that would provide rural Maine with a roadmap for implementing health information technology (health IT) that produces a safer, higher quality, effective and efficient delivery of health care for patients with chronic disease. Four project teams were identified; Leadership, Clinical, Technology and Transformation (Implementation) Teams. The Leadership Team met first to unify the project through the creation of a project Charter. The Clinical and Technology Teams met to address needed clinical information, the current status of technology and a list of technology options aligned with the Chronic Care Model was created. The Transformation Team utilized this information to plan three Learning Sessions which occurred in the Implementation phase of this project. As a result of this planning, the infrastructure of a multi-year IHI style collaborative was created. During each year-long collaborative, the participating organizations will create an action plan for health IT implementation supported by project staff.
