Summary
A coalition led by Intermountain Health, including partners like Microsoft and Epic Systems, has been formed to tackle the difficulties facing rural healthcare systems, such as financial instability and an aging population. Launched in 2023, the coalition aims to collect data to understand specific challenges before proposing solutions. Key areas of focus include leveraging technology to streamline operations, enhance telemedicine accessibility, and support clinical decision-making, while also addressing the affordability of these technologies through new financial models with West Health and Gates Ventures.
