HIT/EHR Resource Extension Centers Tracking Adoption Success

One of the most comprehensive, system driven, tools to capture and track HIT within an institution. The system definition supports any type of institution and begins with the common questions asked by the AHA and others regarding technology deployment. Since the tool is a system perspective the institution can define more than technology deployment such as staff knowledge, strategic planning, and potential process interventions.

Meaningful EHR Use by 2011

Meaningful EHR use will be an important term both in the short and long-term. Is there a precise definition? Some providers and states seem very content to wait until a precise definition is available while others are considering the content of the message offered by the Obama Administration and past experiences to set their efforts. Since meaningful EHR use will evolve over time, the smart providers are moving forward - recognizing the work to be done to prepare the foundation and the coordination expected among various types of providers. In some instances, such as e-prescribing, incentives already existed that should have promoted moves toward this type of technology.
