The National Rural Health Association’s (NRHA) mission to advocate for the unique health issues of rural communities aligns with MEDHOST’s mission to serve the community hospital and has led to a long-standing partnership between our organizations.
MEDHOST recently sat down with Pat Schou, President of NRHA and Executive Director of the Illinois Critical Access Hospital Network (ICAHN) to discuss current challenges facing the rural hospitals we collectively serve.
Watch here to get to know Pat Schou, learn how her background drives success in her newest role as president of NRHA, and hear her thoughts on the highlighted Best Practices webinar track during this year’s NRHA Critical Access Hospital Conference and the critical need for a Best Practice Implementation plan.

MEDHOST agrees that during these challenging times, the seamless operations of electronic healthcare records are even more critical to support the hectic workflow of healthcare facilities. More than 50 percent of all EHR systems either fail or fail to be properly utilized.1 Failure can be avoided by choosing a solution that meets your facility’s expectations and is delivered by a partner who understands the key to any healthcare IT project success is built on a solid implementation foundation.
