Arkansas Department of Health Modernizes EHR System with PHIG Support

Success Stories

The Arkansas Department of Health is upgrading its Electronic Health Record (EHR) system, supported by PHIG funding, to improve healthcare delivery. This modernization aims to streamline workflows, enhance patient access to records, and improve data integrity, which is critical for reducing claim denials and increasing user satisfaction. PHIG funding enabled a comprehensive evaluation by a global consulting firm specializing in audit, tax, and advisory services to assess the current system and develop requirements for a new solution. While benefits are anticipated post-implementation, the upgrade is expected to enhance operational efficiency and sustainability by increasing revenue through reduced administrative costs and improved billing accuracy.
