The research will track private equity...
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded Ochin, Inc. $690,824 on August 20, 2026, through the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to conduct a study analyzing electronic consultations for cardiovascular disease management in rural community health centers. The project, titled ENCORE: Electronic Consultations for Cardiovascular Diseases in Rural Community Clinics, will leverage electronic health record data from a national network of more than 2,200 community health centers across 36 states paired with linked Medicaid claims data and provider interviews to examine patterns of primary care to specialty provider electronic consultations for cardiovascular care in rural versus urban settings, identify the impact of electronic consultation requests on cardiovascular disease management outcomes including testing and continued care, and develop strategies to increase electronic consultation use in community health centers. The work addresses documented gaps in specialist access for rural populations, where cardiovascular disease preventable deaths increased 9.5 percentage points from 2010 to 2022 while urban rates declined. Ochin, Inc., a nonprofit health information technology collaborative based in Portland, Oregon, serves as the recipient organization. Performance occurs in Portland, Oregon. The period of performance runs through May 31, 2031.
