Description
Formed in 2003, the Western Washington Rural Health Care Collaborative (WWRHCC) is an incorporated non-profit Rural Health Network. The Collaborative is comprised of nine federally designated rural Critical Access Hospitals serving all or portions of nine Western Washington counties, with a combined network area population of over 154,000. The WWRHCC has identified priority projects that include teleradiology, telepharmacy and a diabetic patient education; developing rural nurse competencies, staff education, healthcare compliance and healthcare quality projects. Through grant funding, the Network is moving forward through its formative stages with these projects, and is forming numerous groups to share ideas, problem solve challenges and strengthen resources. Nursing, quality assurance, CFOs, business office personnel, Health Information Management, billing, marketing and CEOs are some of the groups involved in these valuable exchanges.
