Recovery- Continuing Medical Education Outreach Initiative

This notice is provided for informational puroses only. This opportunity is available only to GSA MOBIS 874.4 schedule holders. A provision of The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) provides major opportunities for the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), its partner agencies, and the States to improve the nation's health care through health information technology (HIT) by promoting the meaningful use of electronic health records (EHR) via incentives. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is overseeing the development of a program that provides Continuing Medical Education (CME/CE) products that promote the CMS incentives to implement Electronic Health Records (EHR) and other forms of Health Information Technology (HIT) included in the HITECH Act. The CME/CE effort will educate health care providers eligible for the HITECH incentive programs and detail how it leads to a more efficient and transparent health system though lower costs and increased quality. Primarily, this effort will increase the provider's knowledge of the HITECH EHR Incentive Program.
