The proposal represents more than a fifth of the state’s $6.5 billion in discretionary rescue funding approved by Congress and President Joe Biden earlier this year. It would need to be approved by the Republican-led state legislature after the state budget is finalized later in September.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
