California Healthline


The UC-Davis Health System recently signed a $17.5 million agreement with state and federal officials to lead an initiative to electronically link California hospitals, emergency departments and physicians by 2014, the Sacramento Business Journal reports (Robertson, Sacramento Business Journal, 9/25).

Details of Initiative

The initiative -- called the California Health eQuality program -- seeks to boost health care quality and coordination by improving data sharing among health care providers.

Kenneth Kizer -- director of the Institute for Population Health Improvement -- will lead the initiative (UC-Davis Health System release, 9/25).

The project received a four-year, $38.8 million grant in 2010 through the federal economic stimulus package. Officials plan to identify other funding sources to maintain and expand the program after 2014.

On Nov. 1 and Nov. 2, state health officials and CHeQ officials plan to hold a stakeholder summit on health data exchange in Sacramento (Sacramento Business Journal, 9/25).
