Encouraging the use of electronic health records by Wyoming healthcare providers is the goal of the Wyoming Department of Health’s Medicaid Electronic Health Record Incentive Program. Shawna Holtz says eligible providers can still participate in the program and receive incentive payments for the 2011 calendar year until March 30th.
Since launching in December 2011, Wyoming has had 69 providers and nine hospitals register for the program through the state-level registry. Federal payments of approximately $4.5 million in incentive funding to nine hospitals and 29 other providers have been approved.
The federally funded EHR incentive program was authorized under the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, a part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. For more information, go to wyomingincentive.com.
