“Sixteen rural hospitals in South Dakota will receive a total of $244,376 in grants for technology projects from laboratory electronic medical records to a medication labeling and bar code system.
“From electronic medical records to telemedicine capabilities, technology is increasingly important in delivering healthcare in both urban and rural settings,” said South Dakota Secretary of Health Doneen Hollingsworth, “However, it can be challenging for rural hospitals with limited resources to keep up with these rapid changes. That’s why we’re pleased to provide these grants to help support technology projects in rural facilities”.”
