The CRM collects data from a large number of users throughout the United States who are ‘‘on the ground’’ helping healthcare providers adopt and optimize their IT systems, it provides near realtime data about the adoption, utilization, and meaningful use of EHR technology.

Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The CRM tool supplements and is regularly merged with other data sources both within and outside of HHS and tracks program performance and progress towards milestones. Combined with ONC’s internal analytical capacity, this data provides feedback that goes beyond anecdotal evidence and can be turned into tangible lessons learned that are used to focus policy and program efforts and ultimately achieve concrete outcomes.
