- Sanford Health is sponsoring a digital medical image exchange in collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs to boost interoperability and improve care coordination for veterans in the Midwest.

The exchange allows Sanford Health and VA health care systems in South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, and Nebraska to safely share patients’ medical imaging and records data electronically.

The implementation of a digital medical image exchange will help increase care coordination for veterans who seek care outside of the VA under the Mission Act.
