 The PMI Atlanta H
 ealthcare Forum has 9 planned sessions throughout 2025. Proposed&nbsp\;top
 ics include IT &amp\; IT PMO in Healthcare\, Healthcare SME/Domain Forums 
 such as Clinical\, Laboratory\, Research\, Tomorrow's Healthcare &amp\; Go
 vernment practices/law\, Thought Leadership in Healthcare\, and Innovation
  in Healthcare Technology.&nbsp\;
 Presentation Details&nbsp\; &nbsp\;&nb

 Delivering healthcare in remote and connectivity-challenged areas p
 resents unique logistical and data management challenges. This presentatio
 n describes the implementation and outcomes of a real-time electronic medi
 cal record (EMR) system in a mobile clinic serving over 600 migrant farmwo
 rkers in rural Georgia. Using Starlink® satellite internet and customized
  REDCap databases\, clinicians and student trainees entered patient data d
 irectly at the point of care\, replacing traditional paper-based documenta
 tion. The intervention achieved a 93% data accuracy rate and streamlined i
 nterdisciplinary workflows across nursing\, pharmacy\, and physical therap
 y teams.
 Through strategic project planning and execution\, the initiati
 ve prioritized three core areas—digital health innovation\, rural health
  equity\, and data-driven program evaluation. These focus areas guided imp
 lementation efforts and stakeholder collaboration\, resulting in the follo
 wing key insights:
 
 Feasibility of Real-Time EMR Entry: Real-time elec
 tronic medical record (EMR) data entry is achievable even in low-connectiv
 ity rural environments\, demonstrating the potential for broader implement
 ation.
 Connectivity via Satellite Internet: Satellite internet supports 
 continuous documentation and care coordination\, bridging gaps in rural he
 althcare infrastructure.
 Efficiency Through Integration: Integrated digi
 tal tools significantly improve operational efficiency and enhance the acc
 uracy of health data collection.
 Scalability of Mobile Health Interventi
 ons: The lessons learned affirm the potential to scale mobile health solut
 ions to serve underserved and remote populations better.
