HITEQ Center, June 2023
Health centers are increasingly interested in embedding oral Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) programs into primary care, which calls for the embedding of PrEP care processes into electronic health record (EHR) systems. Health centers have had success with automation in HIV testing, and are looking to apply automated algorithms, order sets, and templates to the development of PrEP programs. This resource outlines EHR and health information technology (IT) configurations and tools that support PrEP care processes and provides examples of successful implementation from health centers and primary care settings.
For PCAs and HCCNs to Assess Health IT across Multiple Health Centers; Updated in 2019
HITEQ created this template to assist HCCNs, PCAs, or other organizations in conducting health IT assessments of multiple health centers.
With health IT supports for implementation
This tool is for use by health centers interested in assessing their readiness for Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) recognition by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) under the 2014 Standards. It can be used by first time users as well as those seeking a renewal. The tool walks organizations through the requirements for each of the standards, elements, and factors for NCQA PCMH recognition by providing a way of tracking what they currently have in place and what they are missing, a list of supporting materials to submit to NCQA, as well as Health IT tools that can support both the implementation of the required factors as well as the generation of the documents/reports needed for submission.
This issue brief provides an overview of the value of health information exchange, including determining ROI, categories of HIE benefits, and sources for additional information.
