Notas do Editor
- There have been some noticeable change within the past few months – Virginia HIT Regional Extension Center Grant Funding Opportunity was extended until Year 2014 to continue assisting 2,285 identified providers in efforts towards reaching Meaningful Use.

- In order to maximize organizational effectiveness, we structured VHIT into three tracts: Outreach and Sales, Implementation and Optimization, and Meaningful Use. This structuring enables us to mobilize the strengths of our experienced staff to more efficiently accomplish the core work of the extension center. VHIT Sales Team is comprised of a Sales Team Manager, supervising a sales team professional. The focus within this division continues to be VHIT Consulting Services sales, vendor selection solution partner promotion, and outreach activities. The VHIT Administrative Professional plays an instrumental role in assisting with CRM milestone entries, contract administrative support, and workflow management. Our Communication Team has worked diligently on website design, newsletter initiation, communication tool branding, reporting tool assistance, and MUVer program outreach. We had our first interview with a MU movers last week. Dr. Hughes Melton shared his success and will be highlighted in an upcoming e-newsletter. VHIT Implementation/Optimization staff continues to aid practices in education regarding vendor selection, offer implementation strategies including change management, self workflow redesign, and go live dress rehearsal strategies. Once Implementation/Optimization work is completed and practices have upgraded to a Meaningful Use certified EHR, our Meaningful Use staff meets with the practice to complete a thorough gap analysis to assess current status of each required Meaningful Use measure and determine actions steps required to achieve each objective. The Meaningful Use staff guides practices in makingfinal adjustments to practice work flows and internal processes in preparation to begin their 90 days of continuous Stage 1 Meaningful Use measure compliance. Once they complete and attest to this compliance, they will be eligible to receive EHR Incentive payments,allowing VHIT to achieve Milestone 3. All VHIT areas work together to ensure overall project success in assisting providers to achieve Meaningful Use.
- National Survey found that over 90% of all physicians with EHRs are satisfied with their EHRBetter technology makes it easier to attract and retain provider talentPatients equate technology adaptation with quality and start making care decisions differently when new, replacement technology emergesPatient communication is greatly improved if the technology is used to its fullest.

Accounts that have been stalled secondary to contractual completion issues will be revisited to solidify final REC and provider partnerships. Our implementation/optimization staff are working on reducing contract to go live time periods by utilizing newly developed communication tools, including an EHR Implementation Roadmap defining a step by step process for providers to take ownership in meeting goals and timeframes to reach the Go Live milestone successfully and bridge to Meaningful Use.
