The centers received help from Vermont Information Technology Leaders, which operates the state’s HIE and regional health information technology extension center; and the Bi-State Primary Care Association serving Vermont and New Hampshire. VITL, for instance, assisted through every step of the EHR process including vendor selection, contract review and implementation. The Bi-State Primary Care Association helped with collecting clinical quality improvement measures required in the EHR meaningful use program.
Five EHR vendors got contracts from the centers: Allscripts, eClinicalWorks, McKesson Practice Partners, GE Centricity and NextGen.
