OCHIN has received its first Research Project Grant (R01) from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as the prime recipient.

Expansion supports vitality of rural hospitals, enables access to quality care, and addresses unique needs of smaller communities.

The OCHIN Patient Engagement Panel is recruiting five new members to join in their mission to help guide research that improves health and health care for rural residents and people facing barriers to achieving optimal health outcomes. We asked several current PEP members to answer a few questions about their experiences.

OCHIN has achieved Epic Gold Stars Level 9 for its ambulatory care electronic health record (EHR) solutions, placing the organization among a select group of top performers committed to enhancing access to high-quality, connected health care.

To identify best practices for addressing challenges related to social risk screenings, OCHIN partners on research to test strategies for helping community health centers identify and address patients’ social risks.

OCHIN was awarded a $15 million grant to support a new workforce development partnership in California that will help rebuild and strengthen the health care workforce through job training and placement.

OCHIN is grateful to be a trusted partner to more than 500 local health care organizations, providing integrated health IT and knowledge solutions to drive health equity on a national scale. We exist because of the valuable work our members do every day to improve the health and well-being of more than 6 million patients in rural, urban, and tribal communities across the country.

OCHIN has received a nearly $3 million grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to support a community health workers training program in collaboration with five partners in Oregon.

COVID-19 has exacerbated public health and economic crises, raising concerns about the unmitigated effects of pandemic-related stress on families and the potential for adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) to increase.

A new cross-sectional study led by OCHIN explored the utility of community-level data for accurately identifying patient-level social risks by comparing the social deprivation index score for the census tract where a patient lives with patient-level social risk screening data.
