Arizona Regional Extension Center Names SuiteMed a Preferred Vendor
OAKLAND, Calif. (November 16, 2011) – SuiteMed(TM), a leader in ambulatory clinical systems, today announced that Arizona Health-e Connection has named SuiteMed a preferred vendor in its Vendor Alliance Program. The Arizona Regional Extension Center (REC) exists to improve health care in Arizona through advancing electronic health records (EHRs). As a qualified Tier-2 vendor, SuiteMed will provide comprehensive services to help Arizona providers demonstrate meaningful use of electronic health records (EHRs).
“We believe that comprehensive SuiteMed IMS Clinical Solutions will allow Arizona’s health care providers to offer more efficient, faster and more cost-effective care to patients throughout the state,” says Nolan Daniels, CEO of N2 Technologies, a SuiteMed Arizona Partner.
“SuiteMed is well-known for successfully deploying a comprehensive EHR solution,” said Mark Kozak, Vice President of Business Development of SuiteMed. “We work closely with our customers and local partners to provide them with the tools and education required to demonstrate meaningful use. We are pleased to be working with Arizona Health-e Connection (AzHeC) and its providers.”
RECs were created under the Health Information Technology Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Under the HITECH Act, $677 million is allocated during the next two years to support a nationwide system of RECs. This will bring together group practices, critical access hospitals, community health centers and related healthcare organizations through sustainable two-year grants.
Additionally, the HITECH Act also created the Medicare and Medicaid EHR incentive programs, which will provide incentive payments to eligible professionals and hospitals that demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHRs.
