GREENWOOD, S.C. -- Carolina Health Centers' IT Department has received the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) Badge for Advancing Health Information Technology for Quality.


According to HRSA, the criteria to earn Advancing HIT for Quality Badge is:

-- Offer telehealth services.

-- Exchange clinical information online with key providers' health care settings.

-- Engage patients through HIT.

-- Collect data on patient health-related needs.


Tim Anderson, Chief Information Officer, states, “Receiving the HRSA Advancing Health IT badge is a meaningful recognition of Carolina Health Centers’ commitment to using technology to improve the care we provide. Technology touches nearly every part of the patient experience today — from our electronic health record and patient-facing tools to improved clinical workflows, care coordination, and the use of data to support better decisions across our health centers. Continued investment in health information technology allows us to grow and innovate while helping our providers and staff work more efficiently, protect patient information, and remain focused on what matters most: providing high-quality care to the communities we serve.”


Congratulations to our amazing IT Department!
