The center trained 3,724 providers on EHR meaningful use as of Feb. 10, according to a news release. It is led by the Altarum Institute, a nonprofit health systems research and consulting organization.
The Michigan regional extension center, part of the 2010 ONC initiative to push practitioners to adopt EHR systems, is one of 62 RECs nationwide that assist practices with fewer resources than large hospitals or networks attest to meaningful use. M-CEITA received additional funding from the Michigan Department of Community Health in late 2014.
“Our center is the fifth largest in the country and has helped thousands of practices struggling to meet meaningful use criteria and train those that lack the in-house expertise to attain success,” said Dan Armijo, vice president and director of Altarum Institute’s Health Innovation and Technical Assistance group, in the news release.
