Christiana Care Health System, located in Wilmington, Del., will be launching two new initiatives in support of "meaningful use" standards for health information technology, according to a Christiana Care news release.
Christiana Care has partnered up with Quality Insights of Delaware to launch a pilot project for a core group of community-based primary care physicians for rapid adoption of electronic health information technology. The project leverages Christiana Care's computerized provider order entry system and the nation's first statewide health information network.
The second initiative involves implementing health information technology into the core curriculum for its July 2010 class of nearly 100 medical and dental residents and fellows. The hospital system will also provide ongoing education to approximately 1,500 community physicians to help them adopt meaningful use of medical informatics, leading to safer and more effective care.
