Purpose • Purpose of the Regional Extension Centers is to assist providers within their geographic areas on selection, acquisition, meaningful use, and implementation of EHRs and HIEs to improve health care quality and outcomes. • Serve as resource for all providers in an area; target assistance to eligible primary care providers in smaller practices, small and rural hospitals and public health clinics
Missouri HIT Assistance Center • Partnership of: • University of Missouri’s Department of Health Management and Informatics; Center for Health Policy; Department of Family and Community Medicine • Missouri Telehealth Network • Primaris • Missouri Primary Care Association • Kansas City Quality Improvement Organization • Hospital Industry Data Institute
What this means to hospitals • REC partners will be offering assistance to primary care physicians & clinics in your trading area • Supplemental expansion grant provides opportunity to create service offerings for hospitals
Assistance to Primary Care Providers & Clinics • Direct assistance support in the form of onsite technical assistance to providers • Training and support services to assist physicians and other providers in adopting EHRs • Guidance to help with EHR implementation & meeting meaningful use • *Contact the AC for physician services pricing schedule

Cooperative Grant Funding – How it Works • The REC is paid for reaching each of the following three milestones • signed technical assistance contract • provider “go live” with certified EHR • provider attains meaningful use
Next Steps • Coordinate GPO fee-based services & deploy EHRAssist™ (April 2011) • Update MHA HIT pages (May 2011) • Continue to encourage signed technical assistance contracts between REC-eligible hospitals and the MU HIT AC (June 2011) • “Meaningful Use” early adopter panel presentation (June 2011) • 2011 MHA Meaningful Use Symposium (Aug 2011)
