Beacon Community CAP Cont
The fifteen communities are located throughout the United States
Vary in population and demographic characteristics

Status Update
Baseline data collection has been completed in Stanly and Cabarrus Health Departments and is about 50% complete in the Rowan County Health Department.
The North Carolina Public Health Portal compiles data from Medicaid, Medicare, the U.S. Census, Institute of Medicine, and other indicators in a geo-mapping tool.
Data is representable at the county, census tract, Community Care Network, and practice levels.
Anna, the virtual home monitoring pilot has enrolled nearly 100 patients with several success stories.

Can Replication of Beacon Community Be Achieved Locally?
It is my find that Southern Piedmont Beacon Community can be replicated in my community of Tampa, FL. This conclusion has reached an understanding that Tampa’s local health community and all its key healthcare facilities already participate in EHR’s. With an extensive teaching base and significant partnerships between the state, county, HCO’s, and learning institutions, it would be relatively easy and beneficial for this replication.
