One of our main activities for peer-to-peer support is teaching individual healthcare practitioners about electronic health records — their utility, how to integrate them into a practice, how to get federal support for their adoption, and how to use them in the clinical arena.

Referrals to Other TRCs or Organizations
There are a number of Telehealth Resource Centers in the United States, each serving a distinct geographic region. Details and contact information can be found at www.telehealthresourcecenter.org. The SWTRC is also quite familiar with what funding agencies have to offer, how to prepare and submit grants, and how to manage them after they are awarded. We can advise in all these areas to interested clients on a one-to-one basis.
Information Library of Resources
The SWTRC has a strong connection with AZHIN — the Arizona Health Information Network, which provides an infrastructure for knowledge-based information to support healthcare practice and training in Arizona and to introduce, encourage and support widespread use of electronic information management tools by Arizona’s healthcare practitioners.
The National Network of Libraries of Medicine also has resources available on a variety of healthcare related topics including a regular series of webinars (archived topics are available for viewing as well).
