Indiana's Medicaid director says the state will receive $2.3 million in federal funds to prepare for creating electronic
health records.
Medicaid Director Pat Casanova says the money will be used for necessary state steps to create an incentive program for medical
providers and hospitals to move from paper records to electronic ones.
She says the funds will allow the state Medicaid program to develop plans and the technology needed to provide incentive

Casanova says electronic health records will improve access to health information for Medicaid members and providers.
