What CMS has announced for Alabama
Funding is one part of the job

Thirty minutes, confidential, no cost.

During eight years at Cerner, I worked across 170+ healthcare technology deployments. My deepest specialization was CommunityWorks: more than 90 community, rural, district, and critical-access hospitals in 34 states, including 62 critical-access hospitals.
