Alaska eHealth Network Regional Extension Center Program
The AeHN Regional Extension Center has established a “vendor friendly” policy which addresses the unique demographic, geographic, and EHR adoption challenges in Alaska and the need for qualified vendors as partners in our organization to support priority primary care providers and hospitals in their EHR adoption process. Each vendor must agree to perform provider practice service(s) in congruence with our Vendor Services Agreement and our responsibilities as grantee under our cooperative agreement with the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology.
In addition, all EHR products must be either:
Certified* for stage one Meaningful Use and, based on expert opinion, are expected to be certified to meet stage two and three criteria, or
Anticipated to AeHN or other appropriate healthcare experts to achieve certification for stage one by the end of 2011 and, based on expert opinion, are capable of certification for stage two and three criteria.
