Nationwide awards honor creative approaches to state problems
by The Council of State Governments
Alabama’s BioTrac Program, designed to help Medicaid patients manage chronic diseases, has been recognized nationally with a 2005 Innovations Award from The Council of State Governments.
The program, administered by the Center for Strategic Health Innovations (CSHI) at the University of South Alabama College of Medicine, creates a win-win situation for states and patients. Patients learn how to become healthier and Alabama achieves potentially lower Medicaid expenses. Early estimates show the potential for more than $23 million in savings or approximately 5 percent of current medical and pharmacy costs.

CSHI provides 24x7 support to Alabama Department of Public Health for Katrina Response
CSHI team members have provided continous around the clock technical support to the Alabama Department of Public Health. As the developers of the Alabama Incident Management System (AIMS) for ADPH, CSHI has made a standing committment to provide support whenever disaster strikes. As it did during Ivan and Dennis, CSHI has made good on that committment. Though Katrinas' committment is far more involved with over 90 hospitals providing data, CSHI working from its own operations center, has played a valued and continuing role in this effort. To date our support center has run for 96 hours and our efforts will continue as long as the need remains.
For more information go to www.arrtc.com web site which is the CSHI program for disaster training and response.
