Providers

Where to start?

  • Are you thinking about using an electronic health record (EHR)?
  • Are you wondering if your EHR will meet new meaningful use requirements?
  • Are you interested in getting paid as much as $63,750 per provider?

The purpose of CHITREC is to help medical practices use electronic health information, meet meaningful use and qualify for incentive payments. Through a new federal grant, CHITREC has assembled a team of experts ready to assist you and your practice team. CHITREC is a partnership between Northwestern University, the Alliance of Chicago Community Health Services specifically serving the 606xx zip code region of Chicago.

Thinking about adopting an EHR?

  • Did you know that an eligible provider may earn up to $63,750 in federal reimbursements if they achieve meaningful use on their EHR system?
  • But did you know as many as 30% of EHR implementations fail due to insufficient planning and cost problems?
  • And there almost 900 pages of the final rule document for meaningful use that detail nuances and options of qualifications?

Don’t worry – we’ve read them all so we can help you walk through what is most important for you.
