The SIOC Project focuses on improving health care quality in acute care and critical access hospitals through the adoption of one of the following technology systems in the hospital:

• Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE)
• Barcode tracking at the Point-Of-Care (BPOC)
• Telehealth or telemedicine

Eight New Mexico hospitals have pledged to work on this project with NMMRA over the next several years.

To assist in the adoption of technology, NMMRA:

• Assesses a hospital’s capabilities and resources for technology adoption
• Provides a report of the assessment results to senior leadership
• Works with hospital leadership to develop and implement an action plan
• Assists with vendor analysis
• Works with hospital leadership to develop organizational change strategies
• Provides technical assistance
• Coordinates a re-assessment of the survey after changes have been implemented

Participants in this project were selected from an applicant pool of New Mexico’s critical access and rural acute care hospitals.
