Title XIII of Division A and Title IV of Division B of ARRA, together cited as the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH Act), include provisions to promote meaningful use of health information technology to improve the quality and value of American health care. The HITECH Act also established the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as the principal Federal entity responsible for coordinating the effort to implement a nationwide health information technology (health IT) infrastructure that allows for the use and exchange of electronic health information in electronic format. Subtitles A and B of Title IV in Division B of ARRA authorize incentive payments for eligible Medicare and Medicaid providers’ adoption and meaningful use of certified electronic health record (EHR) technology. In PO 00000 Frm 00073 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 2015, Medicare eligible providers are expected to have adopted and be actively utilizing certified EHR technology in compliance with the ‘‘meaningful use’’ definition or they will be subject to payment adjustments under Medicare (per sections 4101(b) and 4102(b) of ARRA). The detailed criteria to qualify for meaningful use incentive payments were established by the Secretary of HHS (hereafter referred to as the Secretary) through the formal notice-and-comment rulemaking process. For access to the most current publicly available information about meaningful use, please visit the Meaningful Use section of the ONC programmatic Web site (https:// healthit.hhs.gov/portal/server.pt/ community/healthit_hhs_gov__ meaningful_use_announcement/2996) and https://www.cms.gov/ EHRIncentivePrograms/. Providers seeking to meaningfully use certified EHR technology face a variety of challenging tasks. Those tasks include assessing needs, selecting and negotiating with a system vendor or reseller, implementing project management, and instituting workflow changes to improve clinical performance and ultimately, outcomes. Past experience has shown that robust local technical assistance can result in effective implementation of EHRs and quality improvement throughout a defined geographic area. Section 3012 of the Public Health Service Act (PHSA), as added by ARRA (see Appendix A), authorized the establishment of the Health Information Technology Extension Program (Extension Program).
