Advancing HIE in Tennessee
The Office of e-Health Initiatives has submitted the State of Tennessee's strategic plan to the Office of National Coordinator in applying for grant funds through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 to grow health information exchange (HIE) in the state through health information technology (HIT). The goal of the strategic plan is to drive improvements in health care outcomes through coordinated statewide HIT that will enable vital, secure, decision-ready information to be available to clinicians at the point-of-care and benefit public health in general.

Through ARRA, physicians and hospitals have an
unprecedented opportunity to obtain funding for achieving meaningful use of an Electronic Health Record (EHR). Funding for hospitals and physicians will be available beginning in 2011 and
extending through 2015 for those who are able to demonstrate meaningful use. Plan now to attend this opportunity to learn how to access ARRA funding.
