With the passage, in 2009, of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH),part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), over 19 Billion dollars was targeted for healthcare information technology (HIT) projects to accelerate the adoption of electronic Health Records (EHR)s. Intermountain Healthcare facilities and providers are eligible for approximately $93 million in incentives from HITECH, if we use a "certified EHR" in a "meaningful way". This paper describes the current state of our EHR functions and EHR adoption compared to those required by the HITECH act. We describe the method used to determine the gaps between our EHR functions and EHR adoption. Our analysis identified 17 significant EHR enhancements needed to become certified and identified 42 meaningful use workflow gaps.
随着2009年《经济和临床健康医疗信息技术法案》（HITECH）的通过，该法案是《美国复苏与再投资法案》（ARRA）的一部分，超过190亿美元被用于医疗信息技术（HIT）项目，以加速电子健康记录（EHR）的采用。山间医疗保健机构和提供者如果以“有意义的方式”使用“经过认证的EHR”，有资格从HITECH获得约9300万美元的激励。本文描述了我们的EHR功能和EHR采用情况与HITECH法案要求相比的当前状态。我们描述了用于确定EHR功能与EHR采用之间差距的方法。我们的分析确定了获得认证所需的17项重大EHR增强功能，并确定了42个有意义的使用工作流程差距。
