HIT CAPACITY AND READINESS FOR MEANINGFUL USE OF HIT
Purpose
This brief on-line survey is designed to provide a baseline status of the current capacity of behavioral health organizations in the U.S. regarding health information technology and readiness with respect to adoption of Electronic Health Records (EHRs), meeting the standards for Meaningful Use (MU) of Health Information Technology (HIT) and the needs of behavioral health organizations for technical assistance and training to meet these objectives. Information you provide will assist us to advocate on your behalf to obtain support for pending legislation for health information technology for behavioral health organizations and focus our training efforts to meet your needs. This survey is being sent to all behavioral health organizations that are known (members and non members) of the partner organizations.
Instructions
This survey has been designed to take no more than 10-12 minutes time online. Questions are intended to apply to your organization, whether it has a single or multiple sites. If you have multiple sites, when in doubt or it is unclear whether a particular question relates to all sites, please respond as the question applies to your main or largest site.
Before going online, we recommend that you download, print and review the survey questions in this PDF document.
