More NY docs apply for EHR software than program can give out
EHR Connection, May 14, 2007
At least 1,300 physicians applied for the Primary Care Information Project in New York City that will be providing 1,000 physicians with discounted EHR software and support, reports American Medical News.
Physicians qualify for the program if at least 30% of their patients participate in state-funded insurance plans, such as Medicaid, or if they practice in one of three low-income neighborhoods.
Selected physicians will receive eClinicalWorks' EHR software and two years of technical support, which normally would cost at least $12,000 per physician. Physicians in the program will pay $4,000 to help cover a city-organized office workflow assessment, and they must provide their own hardware and high-speed Internet connection to run the system, American Medical News reports.
