Get MUvin with EHRs and Meaningful Use

Thanks to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), federal funds have been made available to assist health centers and medical professionals as they work to implement and “meaningfully use” their EHR systems.

A portion of this money is going directly to providers in the way of incentive payments from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and the remaining dollars have been invested in establishing the Regional Extension Center (REC) program. RECs have been created to serve as trusted EHR consultants to a targeted group of health care providers in every state in the country. The REC for providers in the First State is Quality Insights of Delaware - Regional Extension Center (QIDE REC).

Transitioning to a certified EHR system will be one of the best things you ever do for your practice. It also may be the most difficult.

The road to achieving Meaningful Use (MU) of your Electronic Health Record (EHR) system can have twists and turns, detours and traffic jams. There will be some wonderful sites along the way (an empty file room, the first successful e-prescription, lab results at your fingertips), but there are sure to be a few bumps in the road as well (staff resistance, initial workflow disruption). The QIDE REC is here to help you navigate the road to Meaningful Use, and make your journey as smooth as possible.

Health Information Technology (HIT) is the future of health care, and will ultimately elevate the quality of care that patients will receive across the country.

Over 1,000 primary care providers are now signed up for QIDE REC’s services!

To find out more about our program, please contact us today at 1.866.475.9669, ext. 4010, e-mail DelRECinfo@wvmi.org or complete our online interest form.

We also encourage you to use the resources on this site, explore the benefits of working with Quality Insights of Delaware REC or download the Delaware REC fact sheet. The QIDE REC team looks forward to working with you.

This project is made possible through a grant from the Office of the National Coordinator with Department of Health and Human Services support. Grant No. 90RC0044/01

Quality Insights of Delaware is our state’s lead in this project.

QIDE REC is not a vendor of EHR systems and we do not endorse vendors. QIDE REC is vendor-neutral, and can assist any eligible provider that implements and uses an ONC-ATCB certified EHR system.
