Program Information:
The NH Medicaid Health Information Technology (HIT) is New Hampshire’s platform for implementing the HITECH Medicaid EHR incentive program. This will be the primary communication point for New Hampshire information related to Medicaid HIT planning and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) electronic health record incentive program for meaningful use of certified EHR technology within the state.
An implementation plan for the related EHR incentive program for New Hampshire Medicaid providers has been developed by the State of NH Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Medicaid Business and Policy (OMBP) which has partnered with the University of New Hampshire to develop the State Medicaid HIT Plan. As the various complexities of these planning efforts are developed, the OMBP will look to NH providers and others in the state to help determine the direction in which NH Medicaid will move forward. Furthermore, the Massachusetts eHealth Collaborative has been chosen by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology to support NH providers in implementing and becoming meaningful users of certified EHR systems.
