Program Information:
DHCFP is currently in the planning process for the development of the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program for eligible Nevada health care providers. An important part of the planning process is to obtain feedback from the health care providers within Nevada and realize what are the state’s current uses of health information technology (HIT). The E-Health Study report detailing the results of this effort was finalized in August 2010 and provides a baseline of overall statewide readiness for HIT in the nation as well as in Nevada’s health care community. DHCFP will soon begin development of Nevada’s State Medicaid HIT Plan and will be seeking input and cooperation from a variety of providers in the health care community to assist with the development process, primarily through outreach campaigns, visioning sessions, and possibly any systems testing that may be necessary.
