Some WV Doctors Switch To Electronic Medical Records
WEST VIRGINIA....
Through the West Virginia Regional Health Information Technology Extension Center, a state program has helped nearly 500 doctors in West Virginia switch to electronic medical records. The center provides education, training and support services to aid the state's primary care providers, as well as helping those providers to be eligible to receive federal Medicare and Medicaid incentive payments. The program ranks sixth in the nation for its physician recruitment success rate. The group's goal is to recruit 1,000 providers.
The statewide program was created as part of a national program by the Office of National Coordinator for Health Information Technology and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
