Blues Foundation Awards I.T. Grants


August 1, 2008

The Regence Foundation in Portland, Ore., has awarded three grants totaling $195,000 for initiatives to improve the quality of care. The foundation is the grant making organization of The Regence Group, which operates Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans in Idaho, Oregon, Utah and Washington.

Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Foundation in Cornelius, Ore., which operates clinics for the medically underserved in two Oregon counties, received $100,000 to deploy an electronic health records system. The goal is to create an electronic “medical home” for patients, many of whom are farm workers.

Oregon Health Care Quality Corp. in Portland received $45,000 to help build a consumer-oriented Web site about health care quality. Puget Sound Health Alliance in Seattle, a partnership of regional stakeholders, received $50,000 to create a Web portal to deliver performance results to area clinics.
