Ketan,
I keep getting notices from the the Alaska eHealth Network, urging me to join. They have grant money available to help small practices get started on the EHR, and, also apparently, to assist with ongoing tech support. They were the group that my partner was involved with a couple of years back that interviewed various EHR providers, and made recommendations for purchase and got some group deals going. (AC did not make the cut because it was not certified at the time, and that was a requirement.) Here I get lost in the jungle of abbreviations and terms, but they also serve as our state electronic health network for data exchange.
We did not join initially, as they seemed poorly organized, and our experience has been that accepting funds from any agency is a Faustian endeavor which we eventually regret. However, the data exchange does seem important, which led me to contact them and thus Orion with whom they contract. The information above was part of the package they sent when I asked what they had to offer.
As I said, I am struggling with this. It is a jumble of organizations, abbreviations, contracts and subcontracts, and I am just interested in one part.
