Scott Irwin, who leads NextGen Healthcare's support for Regional Extension Centers (RECs), updates us on progress made by RECs throughout the United States to choose preferred EHR vendors, educate local providers and spur adoption of health IT. Education is the most critical component right now, so that physicians understand the Meaningful Use criteria and learn how RECs can help meet them. Irwin recommends that physicians proactively reach out to their local REC to discover how they can help a practice choose and implement the right EHR, demonstrate Meaningful Use and share useful data with others through a health information exchange.
