Regional Extension Center (REC)
Health Information Technology Regional Extension Center (REC) for Nevada and Utah
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) stimulus package includes financial incentives for health care providers that attain Meaningful Use with their electronic health record (EHR) systems. It also supports the creation of Health Information Technology Regional Extension Centers. Regional Extension Centers will support physician practices in adopting EHR systems and using their current systems to achieve Meaningful Use and obtain incentive payments.
Why Work With HealthInsight?
We are neutral: As a private, non-profit organization incorporated in Nevada and Utah. We are vendor neutral. Our interest is in serving your best interest.
We are Experienced: We are expert facilitators of EHR adoption and effective use. Since 2004, we have helped over 400 physician practices in Nevada and Utah overcome barriers to adopting and effectively using EHRs to improve patient care.
HealthInsight works with you to help your practice achieve meaningful use with your electronic health record (EHR), and to take advantage of stimulus funding.
REC Met Recruitment Goal
HealthInsight successfully met our recruitment goal to provide EHR Adoption and Meaningful Use services to 1463 primary care providers in Nevada and Utah. HealthInsight is working to position itself to be prepared to work with additional providers should additional funding become available. All providers interested in being part of this potential subsidized assistance should submit a
letter of intent to participate.

Achieving Meaningful Use
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has announced final rules to help improve Americans’ health, increase safety and reduce health care costs through expanded use of electronic health records (EHRs).

- What is Meaningful Use?
The proposed rulemaking was released at the end of 2009, and since that time the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC), and the HIT Policy Committee, considered thousands of public comments and worked together to define requirements that will provide incentive payments to eligible providers and hospitals who achieve Meaningful Use. This provision, defining Meaningful Use, has been updated in the final rule to reflect a more flexible, consistent, and simpler message.
Some interesting changes to note in the final rule:
- More consistent message between CMS programs
- Easier calculations of measures
- Greater flexibility in achieving objectives
HealthInsight, the Regional Extension Center looks forward to working alongside you to provide resources and assistance as you take steps toward adopting, implementing, or in achieving Meaningful Use with a certified electronic health record.
