The REC Program’s goal is to assist 100,000 or more priority primary care providers (PPCPs) to achieve meaningful use of an EHR<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of January 2016, the REC program has exceeded its target to enroll and assist 100,000 priority primary care providers (PPCPs) to demonstrate meaningful use (MU) of certified EHR technology (CEHRT). RECs support providers’ adoption of CEHRT and richer functionality of MU, including: clinical quality reporting, e-prescribing, and medication reconciliation to improve patient care and successfully demonstrate the MU stage 1 criteria. While some providers had an EHR installed before REC assistance commenced, almost all providers required system upgrades or requested a full EHR replacement to implement CEHRT to reach MU. As of January 2016, 95 percent of REC-enrolled PPCPs (136,726 providers) have an EHR installed and are routinely using the technology, and over 78 percent of all REC-enrolled PPCPs (112,804 providers) had demonstrated MU of CEHRT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
