HIT Foundation:
Meaningful Use of EHRs and HIE
Improved Quality & Efficiency
The Beacon Program is designed to bring clinical care transformation and improved quality and efficiency to the nation.
It is not an HIT/HIE project.
Beacon communities build on a solid foundation of health information technology and promote the widespread meaningful use of electronic health records and health information exchange (HIE).
The Beacon Program is designed to expand existing community resources to spur innovations in care delivery, provide provider feedback and measurement, and participate in payment reform.
After 31 months, the 17 Beacon Communities are expected to provide improved quality and efficiency of care 2 2 2
