West Virginia Allocates $855K in Federal Funds to Expand Health Information Exchange
West Virginia will allocate $855,400 in federal Rural Health Transformation Program funds to the West Virginia Health Information Network to expand statewide health information exchange capacity. The funding will support the Connected Care Grid initiative, increasing participation in secure data sharing among healthcare providers and organizations. The allocation is part of West Virginia's $199 million Rural Health Transformation award from CMS in 2026, aimed at strengthening rural healthcare infrastructure. The investment expands provider connectivity for care coordination across the state's rural healthcare delivery system.
Health information exchange expansion affects Medicaid managed care plans' access to real-time clinical data for care coordination, quality reporting, and population health management in rural West Virginia.
