Overview

Mission

To create an inclusive and sustainable fiber optic broadband health care network open to all health care providers in the southern Ohio service area to improve the delivery of health care in the rural southern Ohio region.

What it reported doing in 2024

Sohcn has facilitated and continues to facilitate additional grant funding from the united states department of agriculture rural development, appalachian regional commission, and federal communications commission to develop a fiber optic network available to health care providers in a thirty-four (34) county region of southern Ohio and is working on applications for additional funding from other federal, state and private sources to: - deploy broadband technology to support health care innovation and general economic development; - expand telemedicine availability; - implement electronic health record systems across a wide array of providers in the region; - participate and support regional, state and national health information exchanges. - create and utilize region-wide patient databases for research purposes; and - develop and test effectiveness of trial programs to improve health care effectiveness and efficiency.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 100% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
