Video: Sue Deitz, executive director of  the Critical Access Hospital Network of Eastern Washington, discusses rural hospitals’ efforts to raise their profiles as healthcare shifts to a  more of a value-driven environment.

She talks about how 13  public-hospital districts in rural eastern Washington have adopted an innovative technology solution giving providers real-time data on patients with chronic conditions. Hospital & Health Systems reports that “the system not only promotes better care coordination, but positions the providers for the shift to value.”
