The Moore Regional Hospital Foundation, including FirstHealth of the Carolinas, the Mid-Carolina Physician Organization, and ProviderLink, will fund the project with a $78,000 grant.
Providers with access to both a computer and fax machine can participate in the pilot program and can continue to retain paper records if they choose, The Pilot of North Carolina reports.
