TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) Twenty-three Kansas hospitals will share more than $10 million in Medicaid incentive payments for moving toward electronic health records.
The Department of Health and Environment says the incentives will be distributed over three years, with the first payments being made Thursday.
The hospitals are being rewarded for taking steps to improve medical coordination and improving services for patients.
Along with the hospitals, KDHE says 10 medical professionals will share about $212,000 for participating in the electronic records program.
