Health Information Technology

Many hospitals and health systems have been pioneers in harnessing the opportunity of information technology (IT) to improve patient care and quality. We are now challenged to extend the use of IT and integrate it into routine care processes in hospitals big and small, in both rural and urban areas. On the federal level, the Administration and Congress have prioritized adoption of IT, and in particular electronic health records (EHRs). On the state level, the Governor and her administration have identified the adoption of health information technology as a strategy to address issues of access quality, safety and cost effectiveness. Listed below are the current resources KHA has available to assist with this critical issue.

ARRA - American Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Act

Health Information Technology Provisions - New FAQs
A large part of the American Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 focused on provisions for the adoption of health information technology and electronic health records. To assist our members in understanding these provisions and communicating them to staff, physicians and board members, the Kansas Hospital Association has developed a set of
Frequently Asked Questions. UPDATED 3-5-09. This document is one of a growing number of resources KHA is developing for our members to understand, communicate and assess the impact of the ARRA locally. The major provisions of the ARRA have been assigned to the following KHA staff. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to contact them at (785) 233-7436.
