The Hawaii Primary Care Association is receiving a $750,000 grant to expand electronic health records through the association�s health center programs.

The grant is funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Such technology is being promoted as a way to improve health care and includes storage of test results, medical notes and other records for doctors and nurses to access.
�Sharing important health histories and records in real time can be critical to ensuring patients receive the highest quality of care,� said Hawai�i Sen. Daniel Inouye in announcing the grant.
