Connecting veterans with their health-care providers across the vast expanses of the country is not an easy task, but the White House Rural Health Council \u2013 with the help of ONC \u2013 has launched a pilot in Florida, Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota to do just that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Department of Veterans Affairs and ONC recently launched the Veteran-Initiated Electronic Care Coordination Project<\/a> to “help veterans use  Blue Button technology<\/a> to access their health information stored in the VA\u2019s system, and transmit this information to their local rural clinic or Critical Access Hospital,” says Leila Samy, ONC\u2019s Rural Health IT coordinator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is no easy task. 47 million people live in rural America, which makes up 84% of land area and is 18% of the total population. While the federal government is working from the top down to help rural patients get access to better care using health IT, states are also working on the same types of projects from the bottom up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earl Wilson Ferguson MD, PhD \u2013 a former Air Force physician who worked on some of the first health IT programs with NASA and who lives \u201coff the grid\u201d in California\u2013 just completed the Digital 395 project<\/a> in California, bringing  broadband to 36 rural communities between Barstow and Reno, NV\u2014an  $11.5 million project funded by the California Broadband Cooperative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ferguson, a cardiologist who practices at Ridgecrest Regional Hospital, the hospital\u2019s rural health clinic, and from his home (thanks to health IT), says rural health IT can help patients, but also saves \u201ca lot of money.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPart of the reason I\u2019m using health IT to practice cardiovascular care is when you have a patient at a rural hospital, or critical access hospital, and he presents with chest pain, 80 percent of the time — from my experience — you don\u2019t have to transfer people to get another test,\u201d Dr. Ferguson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you have the patient\u2019s data available in a rural area, the practicing physician doesn\u2019t have to do an additional test for a \u2018rule out\u2019 and you can save the transportation costs, on top of the cost of the additional test,\u201d Ferguson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another reason \u2013 maybe more importantly \u2013 is that rural veterans are often taking action to change their behavior because they have the information right in front of them, said Ferguson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s amazing what that information can do to help them change their behavior, so they don\u2019t end up getting that chest pain or having to have a CT angiogram in the future,\u201d Dr. Ferguson tells the Buzz blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One end user of the VA\u2019s patient portal says its working for him. Marc Lanaux is an Army Vet with 23 years of service and suffers from PTSD. He served in Somalia and Afghanistan supervising mechanics and later working with ordinance and lives with his wife near Rome, NY. Lanaux uses MyHealthe<\/i>Vet \u2013 the VA\u2019s health IT system \u2013 regularly, mostly for medication refills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lanaux said he doesn\u2019t \u201clike to be around people\u201d and using health IT to message his primary care doctor or get a prescription refill is \u201cless of a hassle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI heard about it, but I didn\u2019t know much about it, until probably about a year ago. I think I was at one of my therapy sessions and heard a few other veterans talking about it,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s been a pretty good experience, I have no issues. You can check history, I get to reorder my prescriptions, if I need to get a message to a provider, I\u2019ll usually just call, but I can also use it,\u201d he said, adding that it\u2019s better than getting stuck on a phone tree for half an hour when he needs to reorder one of his anti-anxiety meds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the more mundane side, Lanaux \u2013 who is 47 \u2013 was told he was pre-Diabetic and needed to cut down on carbs, control his cholesterol and lose some weight. He and his wife started dieting and he\u2019s lost 36 pounds. He uses MyHealthe<\/i>Vet to check his labs, like his hemoglobin A1C levels. The labs aren\u2019t always up to date, but the system works well enough to monitor his progress, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It\u2019s got some glitches, but my needs are being met,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overlying the effort to hook up vets with their data is another program to help them get a job in health IT. Vets who are mustering out or unemployed get informatics training, under a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) program. This is a \u201ctwofer\u201d because it helps vets, but also the hospitals, clinics and physician offices which need good people to run their EHR systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAbout 50,000 health IT workers are going to be needed in the next 10 years. It\u2019s very critical for CAHs and small rural hospitals to have a highly-skilled workforce to implement and maintain systems such as EHRs, telehealth, mobile technologies and to meet the meaningful use standards,\u201d said Natassja Manzanero, Rural Health IT Workforce program coordinator at HRSA. Manzanero is working to get access to training and employment in Health IT -related jobs that target rural populations and especially current clinical staff, veterans and the unemployed. The programs are offered at community colleges, FQHCs, hospitals and elsewhere to provide training areas for the potential health IT workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manzanero works with 15 grantees, each with $300,000 per year for three years, to help educators and clinical staff at hospitals and clinics get training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
