Digital Health

Digital health is delivering health care through technology such as smart phones, interactive live video, wearable devices and personal computers. It reduces the cost of health care and improves access for patients, especially in a rural environment like the state of Arkansas.

The purpose and goals of the DFPM Office of Digital Health are:

• Enhance Epic proficiency through design and delivery of tailored education and training initiatives for providers, nurses, and other clinical staff, promoting optimal platform utilization to improve efficiency, streamline workflows, and optimize patient care.
• Advance health equity through the implementation and integration of evidence-based practices, leveraging data-driven insights and digital tools to reduce disparities in care delivery.
• Combat provider and staff burnout by optimizing [Epic] functionality, reducing documentation burden, and implementing innovative solutions to support clinical efficiency and wellbeing.
• Develop accurate and reproducible reporting by creating standardized workflows to provide actionable insights, ensure data reliability, and support informed decision-making across clinical and operational settings.
