1. Basic Information

 
**If you have not yet done so, please click here to complete the O-HITEC Interest Form first, and then return to complete the Assessment below. Thank you.

Please complete this questionnaire to help the O-Health Information Technology Extension Center (O-HITEC) better understand your current progress towards achieving meaningful use in your clinic. O-HITEC will then work with you and your team to get verification of each of these components for meaningful use in your practice, improving the quality of care for your patients and ensuring that you will be ready to receive incentive payments through attestation of necessary capabilities. O-HITEC will work with you each step of the way in your efforts to implement meaningful use standards.

The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) established incentives for electronic health record (EHR) adoption by physicians and hospitals.

This Medicare and Medicaid payment incentive program was funded with stimulus dollars to help you and your clinic/organization to optimize the use of your Electronic Health Record and meet federal meaningful use requirements, or to help you begin to implement a system.

Each eligible professional in your practice may earn up to $44,000 over 5 years, starting with $18,000 in 2011.

For more information, please see Fact Sheets and other resources for meaningful use from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT.
This page collects basic information about you, your clinic, and your role in establishing meaningful use. This information will help the Regional Extension Center tailor its efforts to help you establish meaningful use in your clinic to your particular needs.
