EHR Implementation
Whether you are adopting an electronic health record (EHR) for the first time, or replacing an existing system, choosing a product that will meet your clinic's long-term needs can be difficult. After working with hundreds of provider practices across the state, we have gained valuable insight on which EHRs are performing well with usability, interoperability, and Meaningful Use reporting. We also know which vendors have surprised providers with hidden fees for add-on functionality and can provide guidance for how to avoid those.

Healthcare Policy & Advocacy
At both the federal and state levels, healthcare policies are changing to address issues with access to care, provider payments, new technology and patient rights. We monitor and report to stakeholders on policy developments related to the EHR Incentive Programs (Meaningful Use), behavioral health data exchange, Congressional hearings concerning interoperability, data security, HIPAA, and payment reforms. We also advocate on behalf of our HIE participants and stakeholders on issues affecting data echange and Meaningful Use.

Behavioral Health Information
Since 2010, one of our focus areas is leveraging health IT to improve care coordination for individuals with behavioral health conditions. In 2012, we released a groundbreaking report on the topic. Today we convene a workgroup that is striving to overcome barriers to behavioral health information exchange so that patients with co-occurring physical and behavioral health issues are treated more holistically, resulting in better outcomes because their providers have access to their full health record at the point of care.

Medical Home Model
Patient-Centered Medical Homes™ (PCMHs) are at the forefront of change in our healthcare system. Focused on a team culture that supports patients in all aspects of their care, medical homes can make significant changes in lowering overall healthcare costs and improving patient care and satisfaction. PCMH recognition brings more than bragging rights to successful organizations. As payers get serious about value-based reimbursement, providers may be in line for some financial success as well.
