Montana: Last day to take the RHT technology surveys
We are seeking input from health care CEOs, COOs, CTOs, physicians or clinic owners, and organizational decision makers to help shape the future of rural health technology in our state.
We are conducting two brief surveys to better understand current Electronic Health Record (EHR) and Health Information Exchange (HIE) capabilities, needs, and funding priorities under the Rural Health Transformation Program.
Survey results will directly inform:
EHR modernization for rural providers
Improved use and exchange of health information
Future rural health technology investments
The surveys will be live until June 19, 2026 at the links below:
