Where the plan names technology: New Hampshire's application abstract, posted by CMS, says its Rural Health Technology Initiative "will modernize care delivery with investments in digital health infrastructure, telehealth, AI tools, interoperability investments, and cybersecurity." CMS's summary of state plans also cites New Hampshire's "polypharmacy risk reduction initiatives using AI tools in collaboration with local stores" and tele-specialty care such as teleobstetrics, psychiatry, critical care and pharmacy.
AI named in the plan: Yes
Next: The GO-NORTH site at gonorth.nh.gov, listed as the program site by the Rural Health Information Hub, and the governor's office and Executive Council pages returned errors to automated requests, so the state's project narrative, funding opportunities page, Year 1 progress report to CMS and contract approvals could not be read and none are listed. The Legislature's Fiscal Committee on Feb. 20, 2026, approved a request from the Department of Health and Human Services to "accept and expend $204,016,550 in federal funds" and act as "the pass through agency per CMS guidance" for GO-NORTH.
