By aligning EHR data quality and health information exchange, this technical assistance supports more coordinated care, stronger data for reporting, and progress toward whole-person and value-based care models.
eHealthDC was first launched in 2010 as the DC Regional Extension Center (REC), which helped District primary care providers adopt electronic health records to improve patient care outcomes and meet CMS requirements for Meaningful Use of health IT.
Since 2010, our team of experts have offered free technical assistance to thousands of providers and hundreds of organizations across the District- helping them improve care coordination and patient outcomes through effective use of health information technology.
From launching DC’s first Regional Extension Center to navigating a pandemic, eHealthDC has consistently delivered results for providers and patients.
This program strengthens EHR data quality and workflow efficiency by standardizing structured data capture, optimizing clinical workflows through gap analysis, and supporting clinical documentation improvement for accurate quality reporting. It also drives Health Information Exchange (HIE) adoption through CRISP DC onboarding, deeper integration of HIE data into care coordination, and the use of HIE tools to advance population health and value-based care readiness.
Through this innovative and incentivized program, 91 provider organizations received tailored hands-on technical assistance from eHealthDC’s team of subject matter experts and technical assistants.
The eHealthDC team provided free technical assistance to support eligible Medicaid providers in adopting and utilizing certified electronic health record systems and health IT tools to better improve patient care coordination. Our team also assisted providers with attesting for available incentives through DHCF’s State Level Registry system.
During the height of the pandemic and in support of the District’s continued efforts to combat COVID-19, laptops with data plans and HIPAA-compliant telehealth licenses were provided free of charge to eligible Medicaid providers to support their practice’s telehealth operations.
To support DHCF in its capacity as the State Health IT Coordinator, eHealthDC convened diverse stakeholders – including patients, health systems, public health, social services, community-based organizations, District government, and payers – to provide input for the health IT and HIE roadmap.
eHealthDC helped 1,000 eligible primary care providers adopt EHR systems and meet Stage 1 Meaningful Use requirements.
